The Girl in the Glass by Susan Meissner

This was a very good book. Kept my interest by bouncing between three different story lines. The main character is Meg. Her father has been promising to take her to Florence for years and continually disappointing her by failing to deliver on the promise. Additionally we are introduced to Sophia. When Meg finally gets to Florence she ends up staying with Sophia. Sophia is a travel guide who shows Meg around Florence. The girl in the glass is really all three of them - Nora, Sophia and Meg. The concept is that the girl looks in the glass - in the mirror. And the girl will decide who she will be and whose daughter she is and the kind of parents she has. It speaks to our perspective on things. We can either choose to see things in a positive light or a negative light. It is up to us how we view things. And the spin we put on things to make us feel better about the people in our life and the events in our life - just help to make life more enjoyable. I enjoyed the characters. I wish the author would have more fully developed the romance between Lorenzo and Meg. Maybe that will be book 2?!
