This is a tightly coiled narrative following a teenage girl’s headspace as she grapples with her feelings of ostracism and self-image and descends into a difficult situation.
Harrowing and persistent, Brill’s strong voice harnesses the mundanity of adolescence, driving the narrative forward. The complexities of the situation are developed via segues into third person narrative from other family members - her mother’s frustration, fear and pain; her father’s clear love; and her sister’s desire to steer her back to a place of safety.
Glory showcases Brill’s excellent capabilities as a writer. I look forward to reading more of her work.

This was quite similar to another book I've read called Go Ask Alice. Pretty similar stories I think. Not sure what to make of the ending of Glory though. It could be the sort of thing that just leaves it to your imagination but I have so many questions it's driving me crazy.
