It’s refreshing to see a character in this genre in their 40’s which appealed to me, but I just couldn’t get into it. Perhaps my mind got the best of me and I wondered if this was a glimpse into the future and my Alexa’s (we have more than one in our home) would one day become autonomous? That said your review is great and I’m sure there is an audience for this book!

A humorous fantasy fairytale about self-image and how to keep it positive makes for an intriguing read. I read the first couple of pages and could relate with the protagonist. Because of this, I have added this book to my reading list. Great review!

The book doesn't seem to be one I would enjoy. I really enjoyed your review though. Thanks for the honesty! :tiphat:

I hope that the author fixes the mistakes you point out, because the book seems very promising. Our society is obsessed with appearances, and we all have to find our path through that.
Thanks for a great review!!!

I like stories about healing and redemption and seems to be a good one to tryout. Milly seem to have a very lively personality. It's rather unfortunate that one star had to go because of the many errors. Good review

Science fiction stories of computer intelligences and their role as as personal helpers and even as friends is nothing new, but this story appears to have introduced this concept into contemporary settings with todays cell phones. I have predicted that personal phones will eventually take over as our personal computers, as well as organising our lives so I will be interested to see how the author handles this story. Your review was interesting to read and the story sounds worth reading.

I definitely can’t wait to dive into this one. The plot premise piques my interest greatly, and the clever and entertaining way the author passes the uplifting message of the story across is worthy of praise. Exceptional review!

Mirror mirror is a storybook. A good story tells of things that happen in the life we ​​live. The reporter shared Milly's experiences after she was abandoned by her husband. The reporter also showed Milly going through a difficult time and later began to settle down. the book is good the author uses the character Milly well to show the real life we ​​are going through.

This sounds interesting and should be read by women with low self esteem and negative body image. I also like that its written humorously. Thanks for your review.
