Summary -

Claire is a college student in Morganville, Texas. She wants to move into the glass house with her friends. But, her friend Michael doesn't think it's a good idea. So it is finally decided it is safer for her to move in than be on her own.

Review -

I liked that they focused on just one person and give detail on Claire's reasons for her actions. I don't like that the chapters are long. I think you should you read it because it's sort of realistic, but at the same time still fantasy.
