This week is..........
Duplicity
By N.K Traver
Publication Date: March 17th 2015
In private, seventeen-year-old Brandon hacks bank accounts just for the thrill of it. In public, he looks like any other tattooed bad boy with a fast car and devil-may-care attitude. He should know: he’s worked hard to maintain that façade. With inattentive parents who move constantly from city to city, he’s learned not to get tangled up in things like friends and relationships. So he’ll just keep living like a machine, all gears and wires.
Then two things shatter his carefully-built image: Emma, the kind, stubborn girl who insists on looking beneath the surface – and the small matter of a mirror reflection that starts moving by itself. Not only does Brandon’s reflection have a mind of its own, but it seems to be grooming him for something—washing the dye from his hair, yanking out his piercings, swapping his black shirts for … pastels. Then it tells him: it thinks it can live his life better, and it’s preparing to trade places.
And when it pulls Brandon through the looking-glass, not only will he need all his ill-gotten hacking skills to escape, but he’s going to have to face some hard truths about who he’s become. Otherwise he’ll be stuck in a digital hell until he’s old and gray, and no one will even know he's gone.

Why Am I Waiting This Wednesday?
Hold up, I think I just found a new book boyfriend to add to my list. He is a tattooed bad boy who hacks computers and drives fast boys. I'm in! There is a chance of him turning to his good side and that does make my heart swoon!
What are you waiting on?
Keep Reading,

Ahh! I'm reading this book right now! And I don't care if Brandon has piercings and tattoos, he's my new book boyfriend! His sarcasm and conversations are so funny most of the times. I always find myself wanting to keep reading. I hope you like Duplicity as much as I do! :D
