Excerpts from Across Both Sides of the Mirror

  • “She had fallen victim to the monotony. The routine was comforting but also crippling. The life she wanted to live only existed in her imagination, while her actual reality was subpar.”

    — Page 5

  • “It was odd to admit, but the mirror had a certain gravitas that simultaneously intimidated and captivated her.”

    — Page 18

  • “But as she lay motionless on her bed, the real question remained unanswered: To be or not to be? Essentially, that was what it came down to, wasn’t it?”

    — Page 154

  • “Now that Nova was here in reality, with the lack of option to band-aid her feeling of inadequacy by contacting her friends, dejection hit her like a bullet to the chest.”
