Summer had this big scar on her thigh – it looks like a hook. She does grieve for her sister, but then she figures out, well, I’m going to go to jail. She does think “Oh my gosh, maybe she got drunk and fell over, or maybe she passed out and fell. Every person in this book is just horrible, unlikable.Īs soon as you start to think, “Oh, well maybe they have some redeeming qualities?”, no…They’re terrible people. I’ve never read a book where I have disliked every single character until this book. It was creepy and thrilling and odd, but in a good way.
When you think you have stuff figured out, you don’t.
When they see their reflection, they don’t see themselves, they see their twin. It’s a real condition and it’s rare, but some twins are mirror twins. And she tries on Summer’s lingerie, and she looks in the mirror and of course they’re mirror twins. Like, from the very first few pages, Iris, she’s in Summer’s closet. Shayna: So the entire time I was reading this book, I just kept thinking “What the heck is going on?!” Now Iris is living the perfect life she always envied her sister for having but, her glamorous life soon turns into a paranoid nightmare…Very creepy. When Iris finally makes it to land and Summer’s husband thinks that she is Summer, Iris goes along with it. Iris finds herself completely alone in the middle of the Indian Ocean and her sister, nowhere to be seen. One morning, Iris wakes up and finds that Summer has vanished. Summer asks Iris to sail the family yacht for her, since she doesn’t know how to sail and Iris, a natural sailor, agrees.Īnd then the worst happens. Iris has always been a bit envious of Summer…from her good fortune to her personality, her perfect husband, perfect family. She sees her twin, Summer, staring back at her. They are mirror twins, which means when Iris looks in the mirror, she doesn’t see herself. Twin sisters, Iris and Summer are identical on the outside, but on the inside, they are night and day. I’m just going to start off with the summary. So, if you enjoy books with mysteries, thrills, and shocking endings, this one’s a great choice. And the title, when I first stumbled upon it (actually a coworker told me about it) and the title it’s just…You don’t expect the book and then once you start reading it, you understand the title. So, the first summer read that I have picked it’s one of my favorite thrillers. The Girl in the Mirror by Rose Carlysle First Summer Read: The Girl in the Mirror
