Shattered Mirror by Sarah Price
In an effort to prevent spoilers please read the books description before reading this review. I typically do a quick summary of the book. I am choosing to not do that for this review for 2 reasons: 1) the description on Amazon is simply perfect as is, and 2) to prevent any spoilers of this fantabulous read!
Sarah Price has a new fan and faithful follower! Shattered Mirror came up in my suggested book list. I read the description and thought it sounded good so I got it through Kindle Unlimited. Then the fun really began. From the minute I cracked open the book I could tell it was different. I was immediately drawn into the story. There were many parallels between my life and this book. So there were many times as I was reading where I caught myself nodding my head in agreement. There were also times when I was grinding my teeth, had my mouth hanging open in surprise/shock, had my hands fisted with my nails digging into my flesh, and had years streaming down my face.
The characters were written in such a way that they felt like friends and people you probably know. They were multidimensional and full of flaws. They were dealing with real world, relevant issues. I just have to say - if Sarah Price didn't deal with the majority of these issues herself that she not only did an amazing job on research, but also in putting herself in the position of someone actually dealing with these problems! At many points throughout the book I almost felt like she had been inside my head picking through my thoughts and feelings. It was a little scary at times because of the depths of the realness given to the book.
The topics covered in this book are easy to gloss over and shy away from. Yet Ms. Price dives into everything head first and goes deep. She doesn't glamorous anything. Yet there is just this factor throughout her book that just kept reaching out to me. It wasn't even until the Pastor was mentioned that I caught it. There is a slight spiritual leaning. If you aren't a Christian you might even miss it because it is so under played. Instead of spelling it out it is obvious that the main character, Kelly, is a Christian. That brought a whole new level of respect to the book & it's author. I just love when the characters live out their faith instead of the author driving it into the readers heads. Loved it!!!
If teen addiction, teen suicide, mental health issues, alcoholism, or divorce from sexist abusive drunks trigger you in any way then you might want to skip this book. But if you like reading books that are like meeting a new friend that is an open book and doesn't shy away from the hard topic, then you will want to check this book out.
