Glitterland is a painfully relatable story of the struggles with mental health and relationships. Ash is content in his isolation, only venturing out when he needs to for book releases and events, but his relentless friends didn’t get that memo… Suddenly he finds himself enamored with a glitter pirate and navigating dynamics of both friendship and romance that he was sure he was just fine ignoring. The audiobook is absolutely stunning, capturing two drastically different personalities seamlessly.

While this is a gorgeous queer love story, I will note the disordered eating and focus on physical attributes was a bit of a struggle for me.
