Making Faces

De: Amy Harmon

Narrado por: Rob Shapiro

Ambrose Young was beautiful. He was tall and muscular, with hair that touched his shoulders and eyes that burned right through you. The kind of beautiful that graced the covers of romance novels, and Fern Taylor would know. She'd been reading them since she was 13. But maybe because he was so beautiful he was never someone Fern thought she could have...until he wasn't beautiful anymore.

Making Faces is the story of a small town where five young men go off to war, and only one comes back. It is the story of loss. Collective loss, individual loss, loss of beauty, loss of life, loss of identity. It is the tale of one girl's love for a broken boy and a wounded warrior's love for an unremarkable girl. This is a story of friendship that overcomes heartache, heroism that defies the common definitions, and a modern tale of Beauty and the Beast, where we discover that there is a little beauty and a little beast in all of us.

Agonizingly Beautiful

I lost sleep on this book. I had a very hard time putting it down. I raced against myself because as much as I wanted to see what happened next I never wanted it to end.
This love story went through so many stages I felt rung out way before I got to the end. I laughed, cried, cheered and found myself smiling wide. If you even think about reading this book in secret just make sure you are all by yourself because Amy will pull the emotion from you.
I longed and loved with Fern, hurt with Ambrose, laughed with Bailey, wished with Elliott and cheered on the sidelines for them. I can't wait to visit another one of Amy Harmon's worlds.

Couldn't stop listening!

I love Amy Harmon. I get lost in the story and couldn't stop listening. Great book with great life lessons.

Heart wrenching

Best listen in ages! Well performed and wonderful storyline. Beautiful characters. I will be looking into more books by this author.

A definite 5 star rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is one of the most moving, caring, emotional novels I have ever read. After starting the book it was all I could think about, until I finished it. Once completed I couldn't write this review right away. I was much too emotional. I needed to ponder and think, reflecting on my own life experiences. My school friends that are now gone, way too early for multitudes of reasons and diseases, my first kiss, my first flirt, crush and love. After much melancholy thoughts and feelings, and yes tears... I was able to write this book review. A definite 5 star rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maybe I need to now reconsider what I choose to read, as this book stopped me cold and made me rethink a lot that happened in my life.Take your time and savor every sentence. The story is overflowing with emotion. This is a tremendous treasure of a book and I'm sure it's staying on my "read-again" list for a long time. I highly recommend this book for a man or woman with a warning, be prepared to remember, reflect, feel and cry.

Amy Harmon at Her Best

When is Amy Harmon not at her best?! Do you want a book that makes you feel a full range of emotions? Then this will fill the bill. Amy Harmon is an expert at character development along with showing us the growth of relationships. We understand why people feel the way they do and experience those feelings with them. This book follows three main characters and several others through adolescence and young adulthood. Fern, the female lead goes from ugly duckling to beautiful swan. Ambrose, her childhood friend and heart’s desire, goes from beautiful swan to ugly duckling. And Bailey, their friend who is funny, intelligent, handsome and who has Muscular Dystrophy. The story is really about how they view themselves and each other, love, loss, responsibly to each other and to their community. I promise you will cry...several times, but you will also experience a sweet and happy ending like only Amy Harmon can write. #Relationships #HappyEnding #tagsgiving #sweepstakes
