Secrets in the mirror – Review by Heidi Sturgess

Secrets In The Mirror by Leslie Kain
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Good grief talk about a dysfunctional family ! My heart just broke into millions of pieces for the suffering of Gavin and his mum 🥲

Gavin and Devin are brothers , identical twins to be exact but that’s where the similarity stops Devon is cruel , vindictive , unkind and abusive , he’s definitely inherited dads genes that’s for sure , while there’s clearly something wrong with Devon I can’t help but feel resentful towards him because to a degree he has a choice doesn’t he 🤷‍♀️

Gavin is the total opposite and despite how Devon treats him he often protects him which to me speaks volumes of his character

Mom also got my back up because she could remove her and her boys from their poisonous environment but chooses to stay and don’t get me wrong I have alot of sympathy for women in similar situations because their believe they deserve no better but this woman isn’t one of those

To a degree Gavin looses his identity and Devon turn to drugs and mob involvement which in turn puts everyone in danger and Gavin needs to make a decision to save himself and it’s not the easiest position to be in self preservation or family and this is just a nasty family cycle if one looks into their family history …

A heartbreaking , frightful and brilliant read !
I felt like climbing into to the book on more than one occasion to shake that momma or to just save Gavin …be prepared for this , keep tissues on hand and an ample supply of emotional support snacks 😉
