Goodreads: Jennifer Benson has it all: a successful career, a perfect husband, two kids and abundant friendships. The only problem is she may be dying. IN THE MIRROR is the realistic love story about a woman facing a deadly illness, and her loves past and present. It's a story that unfolds with a delightful blend of humor and poignancy, ringing true in the heart of anyone who has ignored a warning of her own.
Kritters Thoughts: Jennifer Benson was an easy character to fall in love with and I completely loved her story. I was concerned that with her terminal diagnosis and her living in a hospital of sorts that this book would be super sad and somewhat stagnant as the location of the story doesn't really change, but I was completely wrong. It was on the sad side, but not too much. I think the author did a great job of balancing the severity of the illness and her surroundings with the entertaining guests who visit her and bring laughter and drama into her hospital room.
Although I am not a fan of hanging endings, I kind of felt like it was right with this one. I enjoyed not knowing what happened with Jennifer and I may have changed my mind a few times as to how I would end it!
Rating: absolutely loved it and want a sequel
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one copy of this book free of charge from the author. I was not required to write a positive review in exchange for receipt of the book; rather, the opinions expressed in this review are my own.
Sounds terrific! I can't wait to read it! Thanks for the recommendation!
