YA
After receiving an antique mirror from her mother, already-vain Sukie finds herself caught in an isolating world of self-obsession. Discovering a devastating family secret helps her realize that a narcissistic life is not what she needs. Sukie, initially unsympathetic, becomes more likable as the story goes on, leading to a heartfelt ending.
