LitPick Review
Lizzie McLane, schoolgirl, adoptee, and poet, is ready to head off to college. But, she is also not ready to stop searching for her birth mother....yet. But, on the day Lizzie finally has a breakthrough, her adoptive father dies, throwing her into a serious funk. Confused, and not sure where to turn, Lizzie gets mixed up with the wrong crowd. And with alcohol. Will Lizzie (and her poems) remain triumphant? Or will Lizzie dig herself a hole she can't get out of? Full of drama, twists, and turns, The Girl in the Mirror, is a must read.
Opinion:
The Girl in the Mirror was enticing, and really, truly honest, giving you an inside look at the heart of a adopted teenage girl. The poems in this book were truly amazing, and the writing was so vibrant, I had to just stop and think about. Lizzie is a true heroine, and you cheer for her till the very end. Between relationship and best friend dramas, this book just kept me guessing. I, as a lover of poetry, truly enjoyed this book and its unique writing style. A must read for Ellen Hopkins fans, The Girl in the Mirror, is a true roller coaster ride.
