She still lives at home and floats about aimlessly through day-to-day life never really accomplishing (or finishing) anything. The main character Estrella (or Star as we come to thankfully know her in this book!) can cause more damage to her relationships in short time than a F-5 twister! At 28 Star really hasn’t really done anything with her life. In this delightful laugh out loud setting, I found out very quickly that the old saying that all that glitters is not gold as the characters of this book are soon to find out! On occasion, I really enjoy a book that gives me a sort of comic relief and that is that is what I found in the pages of In The Land Of Glitter. If these unlikely allies can set aside their differences, they’ll find strength they never knew they had, and learn that friendship, like crafting, is truly an art form. To redeem herself, she agrees to participate in a national craft competition, teaming up with her best friend, Ofelia-a secretly troubled mother whose love for crafting borders on obsession-and local celebrity Chloe Chavez-a determined television personality with more than one skeleton in her professional closet. One ill-fated evening, Star jeopardizes her family’s business, her relationship with her boyfriend, and her future career. La Pachanga brings people together-even when it looks like they couldn’t be further apart. Owned by Estrella “Star” Esteban’s family, the restaurant has a rep for two things: good food and great art. With glue guns, glitter, twigs, or yarn, the ordinary can become extraordinary.
