She's not one to be quiet when she doesn't believe something is right, and while the people in her world wouldn't always listen, she continually remained steadfast. I gave her props for holding her life and her mother's together after such a tragic situation, and I gave her props for continually standing up for what she believed in. She's independent, determined, and strong. Savita delivers a raw and emotional read to say the least.Īdditionally, Jay is a likable and relatable character.

I couldn't believe that she was put in the position she was, but I wanted her to find her place again. Savita tackles hard topics within Jay's story, and some parts were slightly hard to stomach at times - I was so angry with the people in Jay's world. That's not to say The Girl in the Broken Mirror is by any means an 'easy' read. I needed to know what had happened - the prologue had me 100% hooked. Once I started the book and become more and more emotionally invested in Jay's story, I couldn't put it down - not even for a second. The Girl in the Broken Mirror is a fast-paced and addictive read from start to finish. I didn't quite know what to expect going into Savita Kalhan's The Girl in the Broken Mirror however, I'm always in the mood for a promising contemporary and The Girl in the Broken Mirror seemed like the perfect fit. When her life implodes, how can she hide the shame and how will she find a way to keep going? Review: But being forced to conform to conservative Indian customs and traditions is only the beginning of a nightmare for Jay.
