A review by amylia
Glitter Gets Everywhere by Yvette Clark

 
Thank you to NetGalley for an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Glitter Gets Everywhere follows Kitty, a 10-year-old girl living in London, shortly after the death of her mom from lung cancer. Her dad is offered a short term job in New York City, so the family (Kitty, her dad, her older sister Imogen) uproots and moves across the pond. 

The thing I most appreciated about this book was its openness and honesty about therapy and grief. Kitty sees a therapist as does her new friend Henry, and it is just a normal part of their lives. I wish more books discussed mental health and treatment among tween and teen readers. 

The family dynamics in this story also felt very realistic and not fake or over-dramatized.
