A review by authorsamantha
The Other Side of the Looking-Glass by Dakota Jackson

4.0

A heartbreaking but also hopeful and beautiful story of a vulnerable teen taken advantage of by an older man, in this case her friend’s brother. It’s always exciting to read about families that aren’t nuclear families, as Matt is Naomi’s guardian and Naomi has a complicated relationship with her biological father. My heart broke for Naomi many times and I finished the book in one day just to see if she’d finally find happiness.

Although the book deals with serious topics and lots of heartache, readers will care about Naomi and her guardian Matt, and Naomi’s search to discover her place in the world and what makes her happy. Readers will definitely fall through the looking glass with this story.
