A History of Glitter and Blood by Hannah Moskowitz
4.0
I was astonished by the absolute sap in this considering how dark it mostly is. a great time.
DO NOT DISCOUNT THIS BOOK BASED ON UNINFORMED REVIEWERS. anyone who makes it halfway through (possibly even less) knows that the commentary from the "author" about how terrible the book is and what needs to be changed "for the next draft" is not actually from Moskowitz. I understand DNFing a book because it's not your style, but don't accuse an author of something totally false just because you're too lazy to find out this is actually a unique, heartbreaking, lovely story. sometimes books are meant to be enjoyed in their entirety, and revealing all the twists in the first 10 pages is, idk, a bad thing? maybe Moskowitz wanted to do something new and unexpected and interesting instead of rehashing all the same romance tropes like some of YA culture's fave authors get praised for. no one will read this. but I feel better having said it. don't assume! it doesn't make anyone happy! the end the end the end the end the end
