Sixteen-year-old friends Red, Leo, Rose, and Naomi are misfits; still figuring out who they are and who they want to be. Life isn't perfect, but music brings them together, and they are excited about what the future holds for their band, Mirror, Mirror. That is until Naomi vanishes before being pulled unconscious out of the river. She's left fighting for her life in a coma. The police claim it was a failed suicide attempt, but her friends aren't convinced. Will Naomi ever wake up? What - or perhaps who - led her to that hospital bed? And how did Red, the self-styled protector of the group, fail to spot the warning signs? While Rose turns to wild partying and Leo is shrouded by black moods, Red sets out to uncover the truth. It's a journey that will cause Red's world to crack, exposing the group's darkest secrets. Nothing will ever be the same again, because once a mirror is shattered, it can't be fixed
Vlak voordat haar moeder haar laatste adem uitblies, fluisterde ze Beulah een naam toe. Portia Van Allan was niet iemand van wie Beulah zou hebben vermoed dat haar moeder - liefdevol en zorgzaam - haar kende. Portia was het tegenovergestelde: rijk, egocentrisch, en wreed. Als Portia's zoon thuiskomt om de zomer bij haar door te brengen, ontdekt Beulah dat het niet Portia is die de lakens uitdeelt. Het is haar huis niet meer, want haar overleden man heeft haar met niets achtergelaten. Hun zoon heeft alles gekregen en hij lijkt zijn moeder niet echt te mogen. Jasper Van Allan begrijpt niet waarom zijn moeder een jonge, knappe blondine heeft ingehuurd om het huishouden te doen. Jasper valt al snel voor Beulah's zachte persoonlijkheid en prachtige figuur, tot de leugens en de duistere geheimen zich openbaren en de lijken uit de kast van de Van Allans vallen en Beulah niets anders kan doen dan voor zichzelf kiezen...
