About this ebook
In The Vanity Mirror, Chinedu Nnadi delivers a searing, emotionally charged novel that follows Kosi, a young woman whose crowning moment as Miss Nigeria quickly descends into a nightmare. Beneath the glittering surface of fame, she uncovers a world rife with exploitation, coercion, and silence. Trapped in a system that thrives on secrecy and submission, Kosi is forced to confront not just the predators around her—but the shame and fear within.
Refusing to remain a victim, Kosi reclaims her voice and begins a courageous crusade for justice. Her journey of healing, self-discovery, and resilience reverberates far beyond the runway, igniting a nationwide reckoning and inspiring countless young women to rise.
The Vanity Mirror is a powerful exploration of trauma, recovery, and the strength it takes to shatter illusions and expose hard truths. More than a critique of the beauty industry, it is a story of transformation—of turning pain into purpose, silence into power, and fame into a platform for change. Bold, poignant, and deeply human, this novel is a mirror held up to society—and a reflection of the bravery it takes to demand better.
