ABOUT

From New York Times bestseller and author of the TikTok phenomenon Girl in Pieces comes a boxed set including all three of Kathleen Glasgow's critically acclaimed novels: Girl in Pieces, How to Make Friends With the Dark, and You'd Be Home Now.

"Impossibly moving...suffused with light." --Vanity Fair


A girl struggling to put herself back together after a lifetime of hardship. A daughter grieving the loss of her mother. A family broken apart by addiction, but hiding behind a perfect facade. For the first time ever, all three of Kathleen Glasgow's important and moving novels are collected in this three-book box set, which includes paperback editions of the New York Times bestseller Girl in Pieces, as well as How to Make Friends With the Dark and You'd Be Home Now.

Girl in Pieces:
Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At seventeen she’s already lost more than most people do in a lifetime. But she’s learned how to forget. Every new scar hardens Charlie’s heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much. It hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge.

How to Make Friends With the Dark:
Tiger's life changed with a simple phone call. Her mother has died. That's when darkness descended on her otherwise average life and her world is packed into a suitcase and moved to a foster home. And another. And another. Until hope surfaces in the shape of something Tiger never expected: a sister.

You'd Be Home Now:
Four months after a fatal car crash which killed one of her classmates and revealed just how bad her brother, Joey's, drug habit really was, Emmy's junior year is starting, Joey is home from rehab, and the entire town of Mill Haven is still reeling from the accident. Everyone's telling Emmy who she is, but so much has changed, how can she be the same person? Or was she ever that person at all?

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
