North C.M. liked Jess K's review of 22 Scars: "22 Scars is a dark, honest novel about depression, grief, and the silence that surrounds pain. C.M. North tells it as a mosaic: Amy's present-tense days, her parents' history, first-person witnesses, and a closing diary. As the pieces connect, you se" Read more of this review »

North C.M. liked Alexis Roberts's review of 22 Scars: "22 Scars by C.M. North has a haunting, emotionally heavy cover that immediately sets a dark, introspective tone — and that alone gives it a strong rating on aesthetics.
