Review

What separates the millions of books that flood into online as well as brick and mortar bookstores? Real talent and a story you can enjoy. Author Bethany Bourgeois delivers both in MIRROR...MIRROR. Taking us into the lives of characters that are not anything what they portray themselves to be, Bourgeois reminds us of what can happen when we think our reality can be eternally hid by perception. Transitioning effortlessly from 1st to 3rd person, we get into the thoughts and mindsets of the characters as well as get an idea of the circumstances that cause their actions. This is truly a book that deserves your attention, and an author that deserves to be watched as her career continues. --C. A. Webb "Conversations Book Club"

In a setting faintly resembling the hit TV show, Sex and the City, Bourgeois carefully constructed and chronicled the story of five successful women with seemingly perfect lives. Unknown to many, this impression of perfection is refuted by the problems that beset each one. No matter how desperate or disgraceful the turns their lives take, Bourgeois portrays each woman s certainty in the lifelong steadfastness of their friendship. Through her five protagonists tales, set in festive New Orleans, Bourgeois demonstrates the complications that people create in their lives. While this may be the case, the experiences of Bourgeois characters show that things aren t always as they seem, and at second glance, a mirror s reflection can show hidden Depictions of Shattered Glass. This book brings a sense of morals to light, giving a profound message about the mistakes that can be changed... and the ones that can affect you for the remainder of your life. --GlobeNewswire

This is a very well written book! I visited the author's website and was very surprised to see how young she is! The twists and turns in this book keeps you on edge and makes it very hard to put the book down. Well worth the money. --Immaculate Queens Book Club
