Emotional, gritty, and probably more realistic than I would ever know. Glimpse is a novel in verse about 2 girls whose mother is not all about being a mother. They were once a happy family with the father in the picture until he has to go out for medicine and is killed in a car accident. Now they are financially struggling, mom self-medicates, and the oldest sister has a plan for self-harm. While this book definitely gripped me emotionally, I'm leary of authors sometimes trying to manipulate the emotions rather than letting the characters express them. Just my 3 stars of opinion. From a teen's perspective, she loved it and recommended it to me.
