The Glass Castle, Written by Jeannette Walls is a tornado of emotions, starting with sorrow and having little touches of happiness throughout. Rex walls (the father) portrays and shows us this idea of an abusive father who can‘t keep his promises which inflicts pathos to any reader. This shows us how even in our own life there are many issues, but this idea of catharsis we feel whist reading makes us realize how good we actually have it.

Whilst reading the Glass Castle, you will understand that a major theme throughout the story is this idea of broken promises, which can be directly related to the title the glass castle, as a castle made of glass is not very reliable. We can see this through Jeannette Walls father, a man with a heavy drinking problem. Who says he does everything for his family but in reality is quite a bad father and ends of drinking his days away

Into The Water, an interesting book. From cover you feel the book as somewhat of a romance but the more you read you understand it's about a fatal murder taking place in a river. This book goes Into detail on how after the mother dies and her daughter must be under the care of her Aunt. I quite enjoyed how they talk about the death of her mother but also has a subplot that brings up mysterious clues on how things are tied together

This book does a very good job going into detail about 4 women all connected through a harsh memory they all share back in boarding school. This book has many ups and down and keeps you on your toes the entire time. Personally I'm not a big reader, but the flashbacks and twisted turns this book takes while adding drama to every page definitely kept me reading .
