The Life of Glass by Jillian Cantor
3.0
When her father talks about the life of glass, I found it really interesting. The things that her father knew were very unique to read so it was a plus when reading this book. It's a nice coming of age story, apart from the fact that Melissa is slowly getting over her grief.
This book had a lot of stories going on, so the characters very developed because you got to hear about Ryan's, Ashley's, and Courtney's story so it's interesting. The story also broke away from what you see from the person at first, for example Melissa's aunt who you think is supposed to be uptight, but instead there's more to her. I did find the Sally Bedford mystery, although interesting, a bit strange to add in.
Melissa's a real character and an easy one to relate to. Despite all this, I couldn't exactly get in to the story for some reason, I don't know why. I did find myself irritated at Melissa at the end. The ending wrapped up the book nicely, but somehow I didn't exactly enjoy it. Oh well, this was a nice book to read and I will read the other books the author has.
