“Glory” by Aria Daze is an absolute gem! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book had me hooked from page one with its delightful blend of romance, humor, and depth. The author skillfully weaves together the “why choose” romance trope, keeping readers on the edge of their seats as they root for the captivating characters and their complicated love story.

What truly sets “Glory” apart are the important themes it tackles with grace and authenticity. From navigating homophobia to exploring the journey of sobriety and healing from religious trauma, the story delves into sensitive topics with care and understanding. The representation of plus-size and polyamorous characters adds a refreshing layer of diversity, making the narrative feel all the more relatable and inclusive.

Daze’s writing is witty, heartfelt, and utterly addictive. I found myself laughing out loud one moment and reaching for tissues the next. “Glory” is a must-read for anyone seeking a heartwarming romance that goes beyond the surface to explore the complexities of love, identity, and acceptance.
