Fifteen-year-old Naomi Nakano doesn't exactly have an ordinary life. With her birth mother deceased, her birth father neglectful, and her guardian, Matt, unconventional, she's always been a bit of an outcast. Desperate for belonging, she'd do anything to fit in.
When she and Matt move to a new town, Naomi finally discovers the beauty of real friendships for the first time in her life. But what truly lights up her world is none other than her friend's charismatic older brother, Wren. At twenty-five, he showers her with attention and praise, and Naomi can't help but bask in the glow of his compliments.
Even if he says their relationship must remain a secret.
As Naomi becomes intoxicated by Wren's affection, her newly built life starts to fall apart at the seams. Now she must fight to maintain her secret at the same time she juggles hardship after hardship before she loses not only Wren, but herself too.
Perfect for fans of Amber Smith's The Way I Used to Be and Kate Elizabeth Russell's My Dark Vanessa, The Other Side of the Looking-Glass is a poignant work of young adult fiction that dives deep into the complexities of love, identity and what it means to be a teenage girl.
