Elise Brody thought that her college fling with Drew Wilkins would always remain part of her past after he left Ann Arbor for California. But thanks to Facebook, they have been electronically reunited. Unfortunately, they are both married. Their online flirtation feels safe until Elise finds out that Drew will be coming home. How will she react when he becomes more than just a reflection in her rearview mirror? Read an excerpt.
Rearview Mirror by Lorene Haupt is an excellent novelette — well written, with believable characterizations — especially for a debut work.
There are no wasted words, no "fluff" here — with only 45 pages in the book, the author makes every word count. The conversations that occur between the characters are written in a realistic style, not a stilted one. A "flashback" passage is handled well. The theme of Rearview Mirror is plausible (and older than dirt) — re-kindling an old flame, but with a few modern twists — written with a backdrop of social media, and pop-culture references that add to the fun.
I really enjoyed reading Rearview Mirror, and rated it Four Stars. I highly recommend it, especially to anyone who has ever looked back and wondered "What if...."
