Also, we are sharing Carol's latest "Bookreporter Talks To" interview with Rose Carlyle, whose debut novel, THE GIRL IN THE MIRROR, will be a Bookreporter.com Bets On pick. Iris and Summer are mirror twins, which means they are completely identical but physically asymmetrical. Iris, who has always been envious of her sister's perfect life, joins Summer on a sailing trip that goes awry. When Iris returns to land, she is assumed to be her sister and lives out the life she has always wanted. How long does she have until she is discovered, and what will the consequences be? In the interview, Rose discusses what it means to be a mirror twin and the effect it can have on people's lives. With quite a bit of experience in sailing and traveling, she also describes her own adventures in the context of the book and unravels the story’s deeper messages.
