“Shattered Glass is not a novel that anyone should expect to read quickly.
Emotional and draining, this is an intense read that leaves the reader aching. How so, you might ask? The novel begins with the story of a young Liam, who realizes he’s attracted to one boy and his overwhelming desire to be in a stellar band. Unfortunately, the vindictive rage of one will tear Liam’s love from him and nearly destroy his dreams.
From there, I was drawn into a tragic and depressing world. Granted, I know the world of Rock and Roll isn’t all glamor and stars, but Milo and Liam’s story brings the ugliness to light. Their shattered love, and moments of unbelievable mistrust(brought on by vicious lies and a bully that should have been beaten by his own victims), are aching and makes the reader want to scream and shout. Shattered Glass is a tale that makes one wonder if there can be love after so much anger and mistrust.
Take a week and read this book, but be prepared for tears, anger, and outrage. Despite the intensity of this m/m romance, the novel is rewarding and worth every moment of anguish and celebration.
