Summary
The new novel from the best-selling author of If Only.
Jenna Walker has suddenly found herself with no job, no boyfriend, nowhere to live—and she's been wondering for a while now if, apart from her beloved cat Bertie, she has anything to live for. She really doesn't want to turn up on her sister's doorstep, but that feels like her only option....
Already stretched between her job and the demands of looking after their mother, Rosie is not happy about having yet another person to take care of. If only one thing in her life would work out the way she wants it to....
When their grieving neighbour, a retired doctor, has the idea to start a mysterious community garden project, the sisters soon find themselves persuaded to get involved. And as they spend time working side by side, watching what they plant together grow and flourish, strange and wonderful things start to happen, things that will change their lives forever.
Glass Houses is a magical, uplifting novel about family, reconnection and learning not to take anything for granted.

5/5
This book is like a tight warm hug that I didn't know I needed.
And two readers actually really help not to get lost in the story.

Over thought and over worked
I loved the start of the story, great set up and first few chapters. Had the potential to dive deeply into the relationship between two sisters. I feel it got a bit lost in the middle, lost the point and tried to tackle way too many issues. Formulaic romantic plot that was unnecessary and then the token person of colour... just disheartening.
Had all the potential and some strong points but a bit too cheesy! Good commentary on mental health issues but overall disappointing.

Gosh I just loved this so much
From start to finish I was captivated, but I especially like how the book kept evolving and becoming something else as I read. There's a lot that we can all take away from it and I'm certainly recommending it!

Such a dull story
I wanted to enjoy this book so much, but it was just so dull. There wasn’t really much plot, and the characters felt so underdeveloped and cliché. The dialogue was difficult to listen to at points, it was so unrealistic and cringey. I like the over all idea of the message, but the execution was so underwhelming.
I should add, the narration was good.

Heartfelt and Wonderful
I absolutely loved this audiobook! It took me a little bit to really dig in, and then all the pieces started coming together in satisfying and wonderful ways. Helped me rethink some of my own habits and approaches to mental health and relationships, and I was fully invested in all the characters. Thank you Melanie for writing such a touching book that’s both entertaining and thought provoking!
