Making Faces by Amy Harmon

"I think people are like that. When you really loot at them, you stop seeing a perfect nose or straight teeth. You stop seeing the acne scar or dimple in the chin. Those things start to blur, and suddenly you see them, the colors, the life inside the shell, and beauty takes on a whole new meaning."

 

 

Making faces is a wonderful book that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster that you don't want to ever get off of!! I rate it with 5 out of 5 stars and would recommend it to anyone. Making Faces is about learning to love yourself and teaches you that love sometimes comes from an unexpected place.

 

 

Ambrose it a huge star in his little town and Fern is just an average girl that has a crush on him. Ambrose is beautiful and very athletic and never really gives Fern the time of day until the day before he leaves for the army. Ambrose had talked his four best friends into going in the army, so the five boys fresh out of high school set out on an adventure together.

 

 

Five boys went out into world but only one made it back. Ambrose was hurt very badly on top of feeling the guilt over his friends deaths. He refuses to see anyone other than his father until he runs into Fern one night on her way home from work. Fern helps Ambrose see that it does not matter that he does not look the same because he is still beautiful to her. Ambrose and Fern both help each other through some very rough times and come out with a very strong love in the end.

 

 

Making Faces is not my typical type of book but I still loved it. I ugly cried through a couple chapters but it is so worth the time to sit down and read!!

 

Happy Reading

Shattered and Shaken by J. Bailes

Where has this book been all my life?!

I am completely torn between Wyatt and Blake! This is a wonderfully written book and the cliff hanger - OMG! I definitely recommend this book and I rate it 5 FREAKING AMAZING STARS! If I could rate it higher I would!

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. So here is my review!

Allie Anderson has painfully experienced more heartbreak than anyone should have to go through! I instantly feel her pain on some levels (with her father passing and then the love of her life leaving her). She was so young and feels so betrayed. Shortly after her father passes, her older brother, Kyle, enlists in the military. The day he leaves is also the day that the love of her life, Wyatt, leaves. Wyatt was a long term relationship who helped her deal with her father's cancer and his passing, after she loses her virginity to him, he is gone. Without notice...instantly I hate him!

She is in college and the day that her brother is supposed to come home is the day her and her mother receive notice that he passed away in the line of duty. CRUSHING!!! Her whole world is turned upside down. They had an extremely close relationship. Her mother shortly finds someone else to comfort her and Allie despises it at first.

Blake, an extremely hot -could be a model hot- OBGYN resident is one of her best friends. They have a connection that they cannot let get by, quickly their relationship turns into more, but she is afraid of shattering his heart just like hers once was. I love Blake. He is an amazingly sweet and caring guy and would give Allie the world! His family is amazing. They just fit perfectly together.

Sophie is her gorgeous best friend who she moves in with. I absolutely love this crazy ass chick! I swear her and Allie's friendship reminds me of me and my best friend! Sophie isn't exactly one to wait for the right guy, she is a female version of a player. I can't call her a slut because I just love her too much! Her new toy, Cooper, turns out not to be Cooper at all, well he is, but well...I don't want to spoil it right now anyway!

After she returns home (her mother's house) from seeing Blake's parents in Nashville, she is hit with a clusterfuck that she doesn't know how to handle. Wyatt is back, and staying with her mom. The more that he explains what happens the more I am falling for him too...that is until he turns into an asshole because Allie finds out she is pregnant!

The ending is a bombshell! Allie decides to go to Sophie's but what she finds crushes her to the point where she ends up in the hospital!

I swear this book has made me cry my eyes out and then laugh so hard I cry again! Between the emotional drama and the corniness of her and her friend Sophie, words just cannot describe how amazing this book is! Like I said, even though Wyatt acted like an ass, I am completely torn on who I wish she would be with!!!
