Ethan never wanted magic in his life especially not in the form of an antique mirror with too much attitude and a questionable idea of romance. Inheriting it from his eccentric great-aunt was already bizarre. But when the mirror starts talking and insists on playing matchmaker, Ethan's days turn into chaos he can't shrug off.
The mirror has one target in mind: Daniel, Ethan's skeptical and precise coworker. Daniel doesn't believe in fate, much less meddling heirlooms, but Ethan's awkward attempts at connection make him pause. Each clumsy smile, each strange "accident" pushed along by the mirror leaves him wondering what Ethan is hiding and why he can't seem to look away.
As the mirror engineers one setup after another, the tension between them shifts from irritation to something neither man is ready to name. When the truth finally surfaces, Ethan has to face the question he's been avoiding: can love stand on its own, without tricks and magic?
The Mirror Has Terrible Taste is a witty, heartfelt small-town romcom about trust, timing, and the messy, honest ways love takes shape.
Can Ethan and Daniel hold on when even their reflection won't behave?
