DID NOT FINISH: 45%

DNF @ 45% - unfortunately I was not invested in these characters, it was super slow I found and just lost interest. 

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing a free advanced copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I got this because I heard the audio version was brilliant. I have to agree. I devoured this book up in two days. It made me smile, laugh and get a bit emotional. I loved the hopefulness that was sprinkled throughout the book.

I struggled a bit with the writing, especially when eyeball reading. The audio helped drastically (which I definitely recommend). Loved Darian. He was such an endearing character. Loved Ash too - even when he was challenging. 

Bonus scenes included in this version of Glitterland:
  • Aftermath  - Felt like an epilogue of sorts. A less abrupt ending to Glitterland. 
  • Shadowland - Max & Niall (Max's stag night). This made me emphatic toward Niall. Gave a different perspective to his character because I honestly hated him in Glitterland.
