Cut by Patrica McComick Pg. 84 out of 151

When my book starts off the main charecter is telling us how she began "cutting" herself. Well telling the story she is in a treatment center for teenage girls with "problems" such as cutting themself as Callie does, eating disorders, or alcohol and substance abuse. The settng of the book influences it alot. As you read you can picture the treatment center as if you are or were there before. The great detail the auther uses to explain the center and how it is run helps the reader understand what the patients are going through. The center is very strict and there is not much you can do there, you have to be escoted everywhere you go. The patients there have a set schedule that they have to follow everyday. Callie's including one on one therapy and group therapy and than her meals, and sometimes the laudry room. The auther explain to you with great detail what all the rooms are like that Callie is in. The whole book is based on the setting she is in.
