Glass Girls by Danie Shokoohi is a haunting and emotionally charged novel that explores the fragility of identity, relationships, and hidden trauma. From the opening pages, Shokoohi creates an atmosphere of quiet tension, weaving together past and present as the protagonist confronts the ghosts of her past. The writing is lyrical and evocative, immersing readers in a story that is as much about healing as it is about uncovering the truth.

The characters are layered and complex, particularly the protagonist, whose journey of self-discovery is raw and compelling. Shokoohi does an excellent job of portraying the emotional weight of fractured relationships and long-buried secrets. While some side characters could have been fleshed out more, the emotional core of the story remains strong, and the gradual unfolding of the mystery keeps the tension steady.

The pacing is measured, with a few slower moments in the middle, but the final act delivers a powerful and satisfying resolution. Glass Girls is a beautifully written exploration of vulnerability and strength, blending psychological depth with a gripping narrative. A solid 4-star read—perfect for readers who enjoy emotional, character-driven mysteries with a haunting edge.

I really liked reading this book! The whole idea of mediums and the supernatural are so interesting and intriguing. I do think this story was well written, and it was interesting. I did love the mystery and thriller vibes!
