I want to compare a marriage with a city and express the idea that they are similar in some ways.
Is this correct and natural?
Jane looked out the window at the shining city. In a way, Monaco mirrored her marriage. It looked glitzy and glamorous from the outside, but inside it was flat and passionless. People who didn't live in Monaco were jealous of those who lived there, much like Jane's friends were jealous of her marriage. For Jane, life couldn't be more boring. She just floated along the flatness of her marriage and the city.
What other verbs can I use instead of "mirror"? Generally, are there other ways I can express the idea?
