Stars Like Gasoline by Jessika Grewe Glover – Review by Jennifer Crain
Stars Like Gasoline by Jessika Grewe Glover
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The first third of the book, in my opinion, I had a hard time differentiating between the stories of the French artist and Japanese artists’ stories. Once I had the story lines straight, I loved how the author intertwines past histories and current relationships to make you keep reading to find out what happens next. I will warn you- there are some tough scenes (physical abuse, kidnapping, etc), but overall, I fell in love with Celia’s story as she navigates a new friendship.
Not usually reading book with ghosts, I liked how I stepped out of my comfort zone and reading a book where a spirit ends up playing a large part of the plot line. I appreciated the French and Spanish phrases being either explained or paraphrased, because they were a nice touch to the story yet I am unfortunately monolinguistic. Overall, the plot moved fast enough, I am looking forward to reading more from this author.
