![]() ![]() It took me about 50 pages to actually get into this novel, and considering that's 1/3 of the book, I would say that's not a good thing. ![]() ![]() I liked that it was a unique perspective, I just didn't feel like it was the right perspective for me. I found it difficult to relate to Callie and feel what she was feeling because I had to listen to her and be her sounding board. Like I was supposed to be on the other side watching Callie and helping her, and that wasn't what I wanted to be as this reader. That made me a little uncomfortable, if I am being honest, because I felt like I was supposed to be the expert. Additionally, in these scenes the reader was Callie's individual therapist. ![]() The one thing I found odd about the novel is that it was written in the perspective of Callie's voice, but I would estimate at least 50% of that was addressed to the reader. Callie's manifestations of her problems are very common, and although the novel is entitled Cut and we know that Callie is a cutter, I found it to be a characteristic that added dimension, but was not necessary to define her. The best part about this novel was that the main character is relatable for teenage girls experiencing any kind of emotional distress. A very nice quick read that was realistic. ![]()
