Charlie is a good boy who struggles to remain so after the bad things that have happened to him. He hasnt had the easiest life, and sadly, his mom is at the head of his torment. The one woman who is supposed to love him more than anything in the world. This was a very hard book to read, in spite of the masterful writing but because as a mother its hard for me to read such things, yet Charlie persevered even after all the heartbreak, loss and disappointment he endures throughout the novel.ItsHeartbreaking. This book is emotional and deep and not for the faint of heart. Although it's a turn from my normal light-hearted novels, I was pulled into the gloomy and often dark world of Charlie and I couldn't escape from its magnetism of brokenness and resilience. I think I may have connected with the book on such a relatable level because the setting was so familiar to me. At one time I worked at a treatment facility just like the one in the book, with kids just like those in the book, with

I thought this book would be a quick read, and I suppose someone who's more disciplined with their reading time would still have made it through the text quickly, but I could not. Dyed Souls pulled at my heartstrings and stole my attention for a few days

From the moment my stomach lurched with Charlies and I felt every swerve of the car as he is driven to the residential treatment centre I knew this author had written one of those books that stays with you for a lifetime. I was not wrong. I loved this hard-hitting, gritty sometimes disturbing novel. All the kids have troubled backgrounds, and it does not shy away from the consequences of these. For those who look for trigger warnings this may not be the book for you but the depth of all the
