Review: The Glass Girl

The Glass Girl by Kathleen Glasgow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bella has a lot of responsibilities.  Her parents are divorced, she seems to be raising her younger sister, and working too.  Bella is also the go-between with her parents and she can’t turn to her grandmother anymore … because she is dead.  She has started self-medicating with alcohol but doesn’t believe she has a problem … until she goes to a party on Thanksgiving and wakes up in the hospital.  Now she must face the consequences of her drinking and go to rehab.

The Glass Girl is a realistic fiction story that takes an issue that plagues humans of every age and puts it into a story that is easily relatable and easy to read.  Glasgow was able to build the story in such a way that readers will know where it is going next and still stick around for the ride.  The Glass Girl is a heart-wrenching story that would be a good fit for teens and adults alike.
