"  Today&amp;#039;s book review is from reader Jessica Deamer. She read Glitter Girl by Erin Quinn O&amp;#039;Briant:  Amazon&amp;#039;s description of the book runs: &amp;quot;Meet the Soren sisters. Gloria, 29, is a way-out San Francisco lesbian who won and lost an international journalism award only to reinvent herself as a glitter spray salesgirl. Her sister Angie is spearheading an evangelical anti-abortion movement in Atlanta and no longer talks to their parents. That is, until Gloria tries putting her life-and their family-back together. In this transporting, funny story, O&amp;#039;Briant explores subcultures at cross-purposes, inhabited by two radically different sisters who love each other anyway.&amp;quot; I loved this book! It wasn&amp;#039;t quite what I was initially looking for when I heard it in audio-book form, but was so much more instead. Now available in print and Kindle formats, it is such a light, easy-to-read, page-turner of a book, in which the author cleverly tackles hurt, rejection, prejudice \u2013 in the forms of both homophobia and religious intolerance, though with a novel twist to the norm, fragmented families, disappointment and failure \u2013 all very real issues. It challenges, inpsires and illuminates, all whilst entertaining and enthralling. Very clever girl is Ms O&amp;#039;Briant. It is, quite simply, a wonderful book. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was most disappointed when the final chapter ended. You will be too \u2013 read it! We&amp;#039;d love to hear about what you&amp;#039;re reading, too.
