Glitter was a regency romance with a touch of comedy. A unique blend of Ms Glines style with the traditional narrative of a historical romance.

I would definitely read more from this author.

This was a great read, the wait for this book was long, but it was so worth it. Lies, secrets, heart ache, lots of love and passion also.

This is a bit different from other Abbi books. This is time where young women are sent to balls in the hopes of finding a well-to-do husband. Miriam did not want to marry, but it was what she had to do. Miriam was a bit of a diamond in the rough, oh she was beautiful, but unlike the other demure young ladies, Miriam didn't shy away or flirt, she was blunt and honest. I adore the Miriam character, I believe her and I could be great friends.
This story had many emotions triggered for me. Anger towards the childhood of Miriam. Respect for what she was willing give up. Heartache for Whitney and for Miriam (towards the end). I absolutely adore the final few pages. All the questions were answered. The heartbreaking Compton's where explained. It has a fitting happily ever after. Any Abbi Glines fan will luv this book. Any romance fan would luv this book!

I love that Abbi Glines really tried something outside of what she's known for--you can tell that she respects the historical romance genre in the way that she attempts writing it in Glitter. Parts of it worked for me and parts of it just felt like it was trying too hard. Overall, I appreciated the effort but it wasn't my favorite Glines novel.

Glitter by Abbi Glines is not your typical historical romance and I enjoyed it all the more! The characters are perfectly flawed. The chemistry is palpable. Loved it!

Late getting this review posted, but this book was a refreshingly fresh take on the standard Ton novel. The characters were unique and Glines provided a satisfyingly, quick read. If you are a fan of non-cookie cutter Regencies--Glitter is totally worth your time.

So I walked into this a huge Abbi Glines fan--I think I've read just about every series she's released...did I know what to expect in this venture to dabble in regency romance? No way. The most regency I've gotten are the classics. Did I absolutely love this take on it? Definitely. Maybe because we're fresh off the heels of bingeing Bridgerton on Netflix but this takes you through the drama, the romance, the scandals, the feelings--ohhhh the feelings.

So Miriam is this fantastic heroine who is willing to give up anything and everything for her younger sister's well-being and happiness in life. A very noble, non-sensical girl, she's not your average, tame society girl. A breath of fresh air with the striking beauty to pack a punch. Add this to your battling brothers, the broody Hugh and charming Nathanial, who both fall for her and you've got the right amount of drama, emotional intensity and all the swoony Mr. Darcy moments.

I loved the writing, it was very time-period-esque but not so much that you it would make it hard for a first timer to get through. The only thing I didn't love was how rushed the ending felt. Maybe because I was hoping it would draw on a lot longer but it didn't and ended too abruptly for my liking! Overall, a must read this summer!

An absolutely enchanting story that will make you fall in love with historical romance. Abby Glines does a magnificent job of transporting you back in time as Miriam does everything she can to save her family. An absolute must read.

First, Abbi Glines is amazing. I have read everything she has ever published so reading Glitter was a must! I personally have not read a lot of Regency Romance before, but that being said, I absolutely loved it! Abbi's ability to write in first person made this book so beautifully unique. Major keep points to take away from this book: love triangle, strong heroine, and a beautiful twist with our hero. Miriam is determined and loves her sister so incredibly much that she is willing to marry well to ensure her dear sister's well being. She is very admirable, and I absolutely loved her character. Nicholas and Lord Ashington are both very liked by the ladies, and Miriam is able to find out exactly why throughout her journey!

Thank you for another great read!! I highly recommend this book to any genre reader!

Unfortunately, this book wasn't for me and my tastes. This truly is a case of ‘It's not you, it's me’. I'm just not a big fan of historical romances. I thought, because of the author, I may end up liking this one. But I didn't, and I'm genuinely sorry to rate it this low.

This was different from the other Abbi Glines books I've read, but still solid. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't my favorite.

I liked this story. The writing was good. However, the set up in the beginning took to long. I felt like it took forever for the H and H to finally get together.

My rating scale:
5☆ - I loved this book and it brought out true emotion in me (laughter, anger, a good cry, etc)
4☆ - I loved this book.
3☆ - I liked this book.
2☆ - I didn't really care for this book.
1☆ - I did not like this book at all and probably did not finish it.

Glitter by Abbi Glines is a time peice romance.

If you are a fan of Pride and Prejudice, or Bridgerton, then Glitter is the book for you.

Glitter was a slow burn, YA romance.
It's was fascinating to read, and fully recommend.

Having read and enjoyed books by Abbi Glines I was worried that a slight genre switch was going to leave me disappointed. However, I needn't have worried as this was a great historical romance that was a real page turner and the characters were all so vivid and engaging that I raced through the book I was sad to be at the end!
A definite must for fans of Bridgerton and the like and don't expect it to feel to heavy on the history, this is all about these fabulous people and how they feel.

I wanted to like this book so badly. The story was just too all over the place for me, and the author kept repeating things.

I can not recommend this book enough! I read Glitter in one day. This romance book is one of best books of 2021.. I appreciate net gallery and selected publishers for this early copy

Glitter was an enjoyable read that kept me engrossed in the story until the very last page. Well done, Abbi Glines you crossed genres with a lovely and entertaining regency romance that gave me Bridgerton feels. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

this was such an amazing book to read. i loved that it was a historical romance. it was light, had so many fulfilling moments between both characters and you couldnt help but love all of them.

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.

To take part in a season, and enjoy all the glitz and glamour than London has to offer, would sound like a dream for most people, but not Miss Miriam Bathurst. She would much prefer to stay in the country, reading and caring for her younger sister, but when her father died, leaving the family in debt, and having to let the servants go, she knows she is the only one who can make a good marriage, and find a husband who would help her take care of injured Whitney, and get her the treatment she deserves. And when she arrives in London, she's intrigued by it all. Her aunt and uncle are fantastic, and she's completely amused by her aunt's American ways, and the balls and the social events are a hoot. But when it appears that she has come between the handsome Earl of Ashington, and his vindictive younger brother, Nicholas Compton, Miriam needs to have her wits about her to make it through unscathed.

Now, I haven't read a book by Abbi before, neither do I think I've read a historical romance in first person. I did like this book, but it wasn't one that blew me away, and even though it was only 185 pages, it's seemed to drag for the first half or so. Hugh, the Earl of Ashington, needs a wife to be mother to his young ward, Emma, and to start creating heirs for the title. He has very little to do with his half-brother, Nicholas, who despises him for his perceived treatment of his mother, Hugh's stepmother. Hugh initially has his eyes on the perfect English rose, Miss Lydia Ramsbury, who, though boring, would be a perfect countess, and Nicholas wants to draw her away, and get his revenge. But Miriam takes them both by surprise, and with her breathe of fresh air attitude, it's clear they're smitten. I don't really like love triangles, and didn't in this case either. Nicholas was annoying, and there wasn't any redeeming qualities or scenes. He only wanted revenge, and though he had moments of regret that he could hurt Miriam, he didn't really care. Hugh was aloof to start off with, but as the book progressed, and we saw more of him, Emma, Miriam, and the other characters, it definitely picked up, and made the book. An okay regency read.
