The Glass House by Suki Fleet
4.0
It took me a little while to get into The Glass House but when I finally did I really liked it.
Content warnings include: past child sexual abuse, naked pictures getting uploaded and shared online without consent, semi-graphic sex on-page between two underage characters, adult character flirting with minor, character confronting their abuser, parent abandoning child.
This started out kind of grim, but turned achingly sweet. I loved Sasha's character development and his internal voice. Being in his head was a great reading experience, thought it took me a bit to get used to his voice.
Thomas also was a great character. His motivation for seeking out Sasha isn't entirely elaborated, but that's a minor detail.
Their story isn't pretty and especially Sasha's past and present has some very dark turns, while Thomas has asthma and struggles with body image - I liked to imagine him as chubby, though it's not entirely confirmed on-page.
