Mirror Girls by Kelly McWilliams
3.25
dark mysterious slow-paced

While this book was part ghost story and part twins separated because their parents were different races and this is the Jim Crow South, I wanted more out of it.

It was good. I like that there is a curse put on the baby passing for white and when the time comes after her Grandmother's death, she is told she needs to choose which life she's going to continue- passing as white or Negro. It's also very ghostly and supernatural.

I hated the white people for desecrating the graves of the colored and wanting to move them, just so they didn't have to lie in the same place, it made me so mad. 

It was an easy read though and I was glad to spend some time in it.
