The Other Side of The Looking-Glass
The Other Side of The Looking-Glass
15-year-old Naomi struggles to find her place in the world until Emmeline and Wren Blackwell come into her life. A new school, close friends for the first time in her life, a production of Alice in Wonderland, and a fresh start for her and her guardian Matt, Naomi is finally getting a taste of what it feels like to fit in. That is until she is swept into a forbidden relationship with her best friend's older brother that quickly spirals beyond her control. Trying to keep her head above water, Naomi juggles hardship after hardship as she fights to maintain her secret and her newfound sense of normalcy. Will she break, or shatter the glass? *** "Jackson's breakout novel serves as a warning label for just how a predator chooses, stalks, and attacks their prey. A necessary read!" *** "Warns against the dangers of an abusive relationship, rather than glamorizes it. A must read!
*** Dakota Jackson skillfully writes fiction with bisexual/queer unlabeled protagonists, whom she says "more than likely have complex family dynamics, too."
