My Thoughts:

Glitter and Sparkle was a great, quickly-read YA romance that delivered the right kind of feels between characters I’ve come to love.

Synopsis:

Lauren's senior year is going exactly as planned. Her craft blog is getting more visitors every day, and she knows exactly what she's going to do with her life after graduation: get her associate's degree, marry someone fabulous, and live happily ever after. Sure, she doesn't know what she's going to get that degree in...and there's no Prince Charming on the horizon yet. But, still, that's the plan. At least, it is until Harrison Neeley shows up at her kitchen table one evening and derails everything...



My Review:

Author Shari L. Tapscott delivers a slow burning, friends-to-lovers second-chance romance that is both sweet and full of sparkles, lighthearted and emotional. I loved returning to the remember my senior year and how this book was related to me in some ways but not in the “Love” thing I’m not that lucky in the sort of things but whatever Lauren and Harrison’s story is full of glitters but not all the glitter is gold.


We quickly realize Harrison has been in love with Lauren for some time, but she’s also been hurt by him when she was just Harrison’s little pretty sister and that that still stings. Harrison comes backs and the years had been good to him in so many ways that now Lauren has a lowkey crush on him.


What began as a crush quickly escalated to a defining first love. And as with first love, Lauren’s heart inadvertently surged with hope that she’d somehow found something beautiful with her best friend’s brother. And as much as Harrison seemed to feel the same level of attraction, when it came down to it, Harrison would break Lauren’s illusions.


That summer delivered a lot of blows, memories and kisses and some disappointments. Lauren’s bff has a crush on Harrison, Harrison worries about the difference of age between them and Lauren’s old crush wants to be his bf. Despite emotions simmering under the surface, she was determined to move on, and seize new career-defining opportunities.


Overall, Glitter and Sparkle was a great, quickly-read YA romance that delivered the right kind of feels between characters I’ve come to love. It’s sweet, funny, with some a glitter.
