What Do You See When You Look in the Mirror?

HOW MUCH OF THE PERSON IN THE MIRROR IS TRULY YOU?
Nikita Singh is the bestselling author of twelve books, including The Reason Is You, Every Time It Rains and Like a Love Song. She is also the editor of the collections of short stories 25 Strokes of Kindness and The Turning Point.
ABOUT THE BOOK
A book written in isolation, it consists of 15 stories my mind conjured and couldn’t let go of. While no one story is like another, in terms of writing style, format, and subject matter what ties them together is the common theme of the secret inner lives we all lead. Lives that might surprise those who claim to know us. It excites and terrifies me to put this out in the world, but I also can’t wait for you to pick it up and make it your own.”
