♔ At this point, Khorana seems to finally understand what she wants to talk about, and she gets deep fast. If you read this, don't DNF in the first half - it genuinely gets so much better. The characters don't stand out here either they're all assholes and the romance sucks so much. This almost feels like two different books to review. It was a similar reading experience as We All Looked Up, but with better characters. But once you adjust your expectations, the book improves. In fact, the first half of the book barely mentions Terra Nova at all. Terra Nova is used mostly as a plot device for character development and feelings. Yes, it improves later on, but so many people are going to be disappointed by this. Mirror In The Sky does not deliver on its fantastic premise about an alternate earth. I want everyone to read this and see how good the second half is. Yet it's still so completely worth the read.

At first, small shifts happen, like attention from Nick Osterman, the most popular guy at Brierly, and her mother playing hooky from work to watch the news all day. The world lights up with the knowledge of Terra Nova, the mirror planet, and Tara’s life on Earth begins to change. This means that on another planet, there is another version of Tara, a Tara who could be living better, burning brighter, because of tiny differences in her choices. Her junior year begins in the wake of a startling discovery: A message from an alternate Earth, light years away, is intercepted by NASA. A novel about family, race, and discovering who you are, Mirror in the Sky promises a unique read that blends YA contemporary struggles with imaginative science fiction."įor Tara Krishnan, navigating Brierly, the academically rigorous prep school she attends on scholarship, feels overwhelming and impossible. “**ne of the most powerful reads of the year. ** Another Earth meets Perks of Being a Wallflower in this thoughtful, mesemerizing debut and subject of a TedX talk about the discovery of a mirror planet to Earth and how it dramatically changes the course of one Indian-American girl's junior year.
