BOOK SYNOPSIS
After the death of his tough, guitar-playing, much-loved sister, Michelle, Brian finds it increasingly difficult to care about anything. He doesnt care about his parents. He doesnt care about his friends. He doesnt care about school. He just doesnt care anymore. The only time Brian comes alive is in the few seconds it takes for the razor to slice through his skin. But he never cuts deep enough to cause any real damage. At least, not yet... In The Perfect Cut, Julie Burtinshaw has written an incredibly honest and perceptive novel about cutting, revealing why this dangerous practice has become an increasingly common form of stress relief among young adults. Told from the perspective of the grief-stricken Brian who, in his mind, has run out of options for coping, its clear that while he makes some bad choices, hes not a bad person. The book ends on a grace note, reassuring young readers that even terrible obstacles can be overcome, and that where theres life, there is hope.
