It was written with an overflowing emotion, that swept me away.

The story is about the lives of Ambrose, Bailey, and Fern and their sentiments about LIFE and LOSS. It is remarkably one of the best book I read this year, it is very realistic, beautifully written, stunning characters, all in all its just perfect. Such a very beautiful story that it touches my heart and soul so deeply. 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. It is the tale of one girl’s love for a broken boy, and a wounded warrior’s love for an unremarkable girl. Collective loss, individual loss, loss of beauty, loss of life, loss of identity. Making Faces is the story of a small town where five young men go off to war, and only one comes back. But maybe because he was so beautiful he was never someone Fern thought she could have…until he wasn’t beautiful anymore.

She’d been reading them since she was thirteen. The kind of beautiful that graced the covers of romance novels, and Fern Taylor would know. He was tall and muscular, with hair that touched his shoulders and eyes that burned right through you.
