In The Mirror – Book Review
I am sure that at some point in our lives, we have wondered how we would react if we received the news that we had a potentially terminal disease.
How would we handle the news?
How would we tell our family and friends?
How would we handle the unfinished business in our lives?
When time seems short – our priorities shift.
Sometimes, we make choices we might not make if our lives were not altered by the unwelcome illness.
And yet, in spite of our vulnerabilities, in the time that remains, we are left to deal with the consequences of our actions…
In Kaira Rouda’s latest novel, In The Mirror, 34-year old Jennifer Benson finds herself facing this very situation.
Eighteen months ago, Jennifer led a life many women dreamed of – a husband, two kids, a business – a thriving, busy life.
Now, Jenny finds herself in an experimental treatment facility, battling cancer and doing her best to chart a course through the murky waters of an uncertain future.
And so – Jennifer decides to throw a party to celebrate her life.
After all, it’s better than the alternative.
But, even in illness, we should expect life to send some curve balls our way.
What Jennifer does not count on an old flame from her past returning…
Especially one who knows how to find his way into all of the empty nooks and crannies of her current life.
Soon, Jennifer finds that the more her past and present life intersect – the more her present and future life begin to unravel.
In The Mirror is an Amazon Best Seller that tackles some difficult to read about topics.
If you enjoy reading emotionally charged novels that deal with all of the complex emotional webs we weave when trying to maneuver our way through some tangled real life situations, then check out Kaira Rouda’s In The Mirror!
I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

This one might hit a little too close to home for me right now as my aunt was just diagnosed with cancer this week. I’ll have to put this farther down in the TBR pile. Thanks for sharing this at Booknificent Thursday! Hope to see you again this week!
