I’m sorry I don’t understand what your saying. Maybe I can help clarify. I was asking if the book the previous poster if the book they suggested had a dark room in the book. To see if it could be the book I’m looking for. Thanks.

No worries I appreciate your help. I don’t think it’s my book because I’m pretty sure it’s take place in the present or at least it did when it was published.

Does the main characters have or use a dark room?

I could be wrong but I don’t think it’s a serious. I’m pretty sure it’s a standalone book.

Also I think in the end of the book she is developing photos and finds one that reveals who is after her or something suspicious and that’s when she gets attacked.

This happens at the end of the book. This is how it ends.

I dont think she is a professional photographer. i think its a hobby but I'm not 100% sure. I think she is a late teen or young adult. I want to say she thought her ex or a man who didn't like her was who she though was after her. The man is arrested or at least in polices custody. So she relaxes thinking she is out of danger. She goes into the photography room. one of the photograph she took and just finished developing proves who is really after her and right when she figures that out her head is pushed into the liquid. her vision as affected she can barely she. Some sort of fight insures while she can barely she. She emerges virtuous.

i dont know why but i want to say its a Nicolas spark book but none of his book look anything like what I describes so I dont know why I'm thinking that.

I’m not sure of the genera. That’s all I remember. It’s probably a YA book or teen book. Someone was after her. I want to say she thinks the person was caught but it turns out someone else was after her. That puts her head in the liquid and she has to run because the other person I think a woman. Wants her dead.

I probably read this book around the late 90 or early 2000s.
I remember the main character was really into photography. She had her own photography room. Unfortunately that about all I remember.

The book has been found.(now if only I could find the actual copy in my house :))

So I'm pretty sure I read this book before 2001. Here what I remember. It started with siblings and the brother could not sleep so his sister would read to him. It was his favorite story about this mirror that when you looked into you would see everything distorted. So everything that was ugly would get uglier. So the mirror owner wanted to take the mirror to heaven so they angels would see themselves as ugly and horrible. As is got higher and higher the mirror got heaver and heaver till its dropped and the shards got everywhere. When they got in peoples eyes and hearts and affected how people saw and acted. it go into the heart of the main charter(in the story in the story. I'm pretty sure that story is The Snow Queen)

(view spoiler)[what I remember about the actual story is they get sent to a concentration camp. When there about to be liberated the sister dies. After all the horror he witness when a solider asks if he is a Jew he lies and says he not. I also remember he bonded with the people who rescued him. He did not have much of a appetite so they put chocolate under his food to encourage him to eat. The first time they did that the chocolate melted and next time they left the wrapper on. I think he get put in some kind of group home.(but not sure.) At the end he reveals that he is Jewish at a synagogue I think and lives with they boy he made friends with at the group home but again not sure. (hide spoiler)]

I also remember this was a fairly short story around 100 pages.
