Bash has his struggles and although he has good intentions, his life doesn't always go the way he plans but one night at a party he meets this girl. They only talked for a little while and they didn't even exchange information but somehow fate brings them together with a tragedy. Will this tragedy be the beginning of a relationship or a heartbreak?

First Impression ; I received an arc of this book from a Goodreads giveaway and I was happy to receive it but I figured the story would be predictable.

Rating ;

Review ; I absolutely loved this book, it's definitely one of my top reads for this year. This book was everything I love in a book and more. It had romance and heartbreak. Candace had me sitting on the edge of my seat with every page wondering what would happen with each character. I couldn't put this book down, I literally carried it everywhere I went. The tragedy in this book had me full of emotions and it really was a tear jerker. I felt every emotion while reading this book. I liked almost every character and even the ones I didn't like, I still felt for them.

Cover Rating ;

Judging a Book by it's Cover ; When I first saw this cover I thought it was cute but I didn't expect to love this book as much as I did. I assumed this book would be a sappy love story about meeting at roller-skating rink and although I do love a good romance I figured this book would be typical and predictable. The cover get's 3 stars because it's a little misleading.

Synopsis ; This book continues to follow Kristina's downward spiral with addiction but now Kristina also has to deal with the fact that she's had a baby, a baby that was conceived from her being raped. Can Kristina turn her life around and be the mother her baby needs or will the monster take over again?

First Impression ; I didn't have a first impression of this book because I remembered some of it from school.

Rating ; 

Review ; So little words and yet a story unfolds in Ellen Hopkin's Glass. I was excited to start this book after finishing Crank and this book did not disappoint. I like getting to see more into Kristina's life and how things worked out after having a baby. I found myself hoping that Kristina would be the mother that she wanted to be but to also find happiness. I couldn't put this book down and finished it in just a few days. I can't wait to continue this story with the last book in this series, Fallout. 

Cover Rating ; 

Judging a Book by It's Cover ; I knew a bit about this book before starting it so I didn't really get to judge it by it's cover. I do like the basic cover designs of all Ellen Hopkins books so five stars will do.
