Ambrose Young was beautiful. The kind of beautiful that graced the covers of romance novels, and Fern Taylor would know. She'd been reading them since she was thirteen. 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.

I've read well over 1000 books and this is my all-time favorite! It's a modern day trope of my favorite fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast. Although I enjoy all genres, romance is my favorite, along with YA and military men and this book combines all 3! The writing style is phenomenal and the characters are to die for. I've recommend this book dozens of times and every single person who's read it has also loved it.
"the robbed that smiles steals something from the thief" I typically don't enjoy a book that hops back and forth through time lines but the way this was written it made sense and flowed without confusion or frustration. Beautiful, heartbreaking and enduring. I loved how this story made me cry. The sadness, the beauty, the messages. "Live. Have courage. Be a good friend. Always be grateful."
