Week 2: Cut

I just finished reading the book "Cut" I thought it was a very good story, and would recomend it if you're looking for a great book to read. The book got better and better as I read more. Callie finally decided to get help from her counselor because she really wanted to change. Then she finally started to talk. It made me happy when she started to talk because that meant that she wanted to try to get better. Later on in the story, her friend Becca ended up in the emergency room because she wasn't eating, she was out into "Sick Minds" because she has an eating disorder. It made me sad when she was sent there because she was just hurting herself even more, and it's really hard for her to stop her disorder, almost like she's helpless. A few weeks later, her friend Tiffany had to leave because her family couldn't pay for her to go to "Sick Minds" anymore, so she has to go someplace else for help. This also made me sad becuase Tiffany was one of Callie's freinds and she finally started to talk right when she had to leave. One night at "Sick Minds" Callie wanted to get out because she was afraid of her little brother Sam having an asthma attack while she was gone, so she ran until she got to a telephone where she called her Dad, who never comes to visit her while she is at "Sick Minds." They both agreed on meeting eachother at a dounut shop. Finally after waiting her Dad came rushing in the dounut shop, and they embraced eachother in a hug. This was my favorite part in the story because Callie now understands that nothing was ever her fault. Instead of going home with her father however, she wanted to go back to "Sick Minds" so she could see her friends for a little longer and so she could finally tell her counselor about everything.
