#BookReview: The Glass Garden by Jessica Levai
My Review: I’m not sure what I was expecting when I picked this book, but whatever it was it veered off the path I thought it was going to take almost instantly. Which is always a good thing! In the beginning the story sets up not just one but two potential sources of dramatic tension - one personal and one professional.
