Faceless

This is one of the books that has been on my Goodreads TBR the longest and I've owned it for about a year. Still I was a little bit hesitant going into it because it aligns with the interests of past me better than the ones of present me. This story was very interesting and at points hard to read. It talked about some really hard topics but the thing is that I really wish that I'd read it when I first put it on my TBR because I know it would have probably been 5 stars back then.

I went through so many emotions reading this book. It is beautiful 💛

If you want a really good tear-jerker, then this book fits the bill. Maisie wakes up in the hospital after being severely burned by a lightning strike while she was out for a run. She soon has a surgical procedure to transplant parts of her face that had to be removed because they couldn't be saved. The story traces Maisie's struggle to come to terms with not only a new face, but also the entirely new life that comes with it. Her friends and family treat her differently now, and she can't do the things she has always loved making her want to escape to a place where noone knew what she looked like "before." This is a well-written, realistic story about what happens to people when tragedy leaves them "lucky" to be alive but with huge obstacles to overcome.
