Looking Glass Lies | Varina Denman
2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
A poignant and relatable novel, Looking Glass Lies captures the war women wage against themselves, and the struggle to see beauty reflected in a mirror not distorted by society’s unrelenting expectations. For most of her adult life, Cecily Ross has compared herself to other women—and come up short. After a painful divorce from her emotionally abusive husband, Cecily returns to her hometown of Canyon, Texas, looking to heal. But coming home isn’t what she expects. In a town as small as Canyon, her pain is difficult to escape—especially with her model-perfect ex–sister-in-law working at the town’s popular coffee-shop hangout. With help from her father, a support group, and an old friend who guides her to see her own strengths, Cecily may have a shot at overcoming her insecurities and learning to love again. The true test comes when tragedy strikes, opening Cecily’s eyes to the harmfulness of her distorted views on beauty—and giving her the perfect opportunity to find peace at last.

I loved everything about this book! The characters were so likable and relatable. I cared about all of them throughout the story. The message that this book gives is so important and a must read for all women. It's very real and deals with hard issues while still staying light in some ways and super enjoyable. Ladies, read this book! You won't be sorry!

What a great book. I loved the story and the characters, but I also loved the learning lessons behind the story. As woman, we are so hard on ourselves,We also judge other woman, and compare ourselves to them, when we have no idea what's going on in there lives.Cecily is recovering from a nasty divorce, and is left feeling unattractive, unwanted and like she's losing control of her life. She struggles to gain self worth and learn to be happy again.
