The Girl In The Broken Mirror is an interesting book in the way it explores how financial woes for someone as young as Jay (who is fifteen) can lead to tragedy and trauma. Lost and alone, Jay has no one and nowhere to turn to.


Then, one night, Aunty Vimala and Uncle Bal’s son, Devan, returns from college and rapes Jay. She barely spends any time with her mum and is forced to do whatever Aunty Vimala asks her to do. But when her mum informs Jay that they’re going to be moving to her Aunty and Uncle’s house to save money on rent, Jay’s life turns upside down. But she still has her mum and her best friend (who might be more than a friend), Matt. Jay’s life hasn’t exactly been sunshine and daisies since her father passed away.
