Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews
First, I want to thank Tasche Laine for providing me with this book so I may bring you with this review.
Tasche Laine is back again with a must read book in Glass Stars. Glass Stars covers some very important topics that will leave a lasting impact even after the book is finished.
Be ready for an emotional rollercoaster ride as Tasche tackles abduction, breast cancer, and sex trafficking.
This is one book that I did not predict the outcome to. I was totally by the twist in the book and how it ended.
Tasche does an incredible job educating her readers about breast cancer, the testing, the treatment, the emotional effects it has on the family, and the physical effects it has on the patient.
I loved how strong of a character V was and how she was determined to get the results she wanted. She took some big risks though.
I am a huge fan of Kristen Bell and Veronica Mars so I absolutely loved that whole storyline. Not to mention I too love everything pop culture and if given the chance to have met her I would have jumped at the chance as well.
