"Glimmers of You" is a quick and cute read that brings warmth and charm to the table. Grae, the spunky and likable main character, shines brightly throughout the story. Her journey is made even more compelling by the inclusion of her type 1 diabetes, adding an important layer of chronic illness representation. Grae's determination to not let her condition hold her back is truly inspiring.
Having read the previous two books in this series, I found this one somewhat predictable as it follows a similar formula. However, the familiarity didn’t detract from the enjoyment. The book’s strengths lie in its character development and the lighthearted yet meaningful narrative.
In summary, "Glimmers of You" is an enjoyable addition to the series, offering a heartwarming story with a relatable and resilient protagonist. If you’re a fan of the series, you’ll find Grae’s latest adventure both comforting and inspiring.
