Mirror Girls

What a great book. McWilliams crafts beautiful characters, and you can so clearly see the divide in these character's lives, drawing a raw and visceral picture of Jim Crow Era discrimination and suffering it brings. The sisters are written beautifully and highlight so well the disparities, the southern setting is immaculate, and the paranormal aspects while background are memorable.

A Southern gothic book that isn't weirdly nostalgic about the Confederacy/antebellum South! You love to see it. It's also a powerful book about sisterhood, colorism and passing, and the untrustworthiness of white “allies” like Finch Waylon.
