Making Faces

I follow AprilBrooks on YouTube. And we almost have the same taste in books, so when she mentioned this book in one of her haul video’s, I was like ‘I NEED THIS’. I ordered it immediately and started reading it. And ooooooooh man. I think you should go into this book without knowing too much about it. But let me tell you, I expected it to be good, but it was even better! This book blew me away. Quote: “Victory is in the battle.” The story covers different serious subjects: death, friendship, love, family, chronic diseases, war, abuse… And so many lessons can be learned while reading this book. I definitely consider this book as a must read for any kind of reader. The love story between Fern and Ambrose is great and sweet, but damn. The ending was brilliant! I ended up crying for the last 50-60 pages! When you are reading this book you can of course predict a little what will happen during the ending. But there were little aspects I didn’t expected at all and that made everything even more perfect. Quote: “I would rather be lost with you than alone without you.” The way the story is written is amazing too. They are some flashbacks from when Ambrose was in Iraq and some of when Fern/Bailey/Ambrose were kids. It makes the story very pleasant. Plus, it made me love a few characters even more. I can go on and on about the great things of this book, because I can’t find a single negative thing to say. I just loved it. This book deserves a million stars!

Wat een geweldig verhaal! Ik heb gelachen en gehuild. Je raakt vrijwel meteen gehecht aan de karakters en de manier waarop geschreven wordt is realistisch en zorgt ervoor dat je volledig opgaat in het verhaal.

Absoluut geen minpunten. De schrijfstijl van de schrijfster is top. Je komt dan ook makkelijk in het verhaal. Ik raakte gefrustreerd en verliefd tegelijk op dit verhaal. Daarnaast kwam er ook heerlijke humor in voor wat het lezen nog aangenamer maakt. Ik voeg deze toe aan mijn favorieten boeken!
