Beneath The Glitter

It is never interesting to read a book that is quite unrealistic and not suspenseful. People look for something relatable, interesting, and unique to read. The novel, Beneath the Glitter by Elle and Blair Fowler, is not a good book for people who have felt like they have read the same thing over and over and wish to find something different.
