This was such a beautiful and heart breaking book. It was a story of three people, Fern, Ambrose and Bailey. Bailey, in his wheel chair, was perhaps the strongest of them all with his eyes that missed nothing. He had the courage of a lion. Ambrose who was big, strong, athletic, a natural leader. But he had a poetic heart, a love of Shakespeare, of beautiful words. And Fern, little Fern with the biggest heart of all, who sees something in Ambrose that perhaps Ambrose didn’t even understand. Perfect for any number of lessons; character design, reflections, (self) portraits, and any activity where you need a customisable face. Perfect for the topic Ourselves.

Use the angry eyes and mouth to discuss anger and how to recognise when they are becoming angry. What makes them angry? What could they do when they are angry? Then we have God and Jesus. Before I say anything else, I want to say that I understand that when 9/11 happened a lot of people turned to God. Some to look for answers, others to blame Him for what happened. Because nothing seemed fair. It still doesn't. Mainly, that as much as I loved Fern and Ambrose’s relationship, I wanted more focus on Fern herself. It seemed like Amrbose had a fully formed arc, but Fern’s mostly revolved around him. She was a very interesting character, but I wish there’d been more focus on what she plans outside her relationships. Does she want to school? Leave Hannah Lake? Work at the grocery store forever?

WOW, what an amazing book! I have no other way to describe it other than a TRUE ROMANCE - full of insights, the kind you can't help but fall in love with. ❤😭 Fern is a girl who experiences an "ugly girl syndrome." She in not particularly pretty and she is awkward. That, however, does not stop her from loving Ambrose, a beautiful boy and a wrestler at her high school. She knows that someone as beautiful as him would never be with someone like her. This was such a compelling, emotional read! I absolutely loved the storytelling which was quite different from the author’s other books. This book made me feel so much! It was equally heartbreaking and heartwarming and deeply moving from the start. It was refreshing, unique and it made me smile and grin and cry. All the poems and the references to Greek mythology incorporated into the novel were wonderful. I will definitely remember this book for a long time. I loved the characters, the beautiful words and the strong messages they delivered.

God has given you one face and you make yourself another."-Hamlet Can society stop seeing the exterior and see the interior of a person? "When you really look at them, you stop seeing a perfect nose or straight teeth. You stop seeing the acne scar or the dimple in the chin. Those things start to blur, and suddenly you see them, the colors, the life inside the shell, and beauty takes on a whole new meaning."Where Fern was tiny, Ambrose was big. He was always large for his age, and strong. He learned early that he had a natural talent for wrestling. He soon became the town wrestling star but along with that came the responsibility not to let his town down. He was always expected to win. Ambrose was also beautiful. His face was beautiful, and Fern loved him. But someone like Ambrose would never notice someone like Fern. A sly, pointed face with something vixen in it, the look of a child evacuee who had lost his parents and grown up too fast —Penelope Gilliatt Spoiler Free-Thank you to all of the previous reviewers and a special shout out to Mo for personally recommending this book to me. Wow... just wow! This is one of those special books I wish I could give extra stars to- 5 stars, it just doesn’t seem adequate. When I read a story like this, it’s hard to put it into words how I feel. This book blew me away. One of the very best books I’ve read this year! Bailey has a disease. It makes his muscles weak. It might kill him. He doesn't like it when things die. It's hard for him," Fern said simply, honestly. She actually sounded kinda smart. Suddenly, the events at the wrestling camp earlier that summer made sense to Ambrose. Bailey wasn't supposed to wrestle because he had a disease. Ambrose felt bad all over again.

Maybe everyone represents a piece of the puzzle. We all fit together to create this experience we call life. None of us can see the part we play or the way it all turns out. Maybe the miracles that we see are just the tip of the iceberg. And maybe we just don’t recognize the blessings that come as a result of terrible things." I actually listened to this one on a couple family car trips. Even though it's been two years since I originally read it I still experienced all the same feels. I will never part with this book, even if it goes unread. I will espouse its qualities to strangers, even when inappropriate. I will insist other people read it so they can tell me what it says and how we could all learn from it.But somehow I gravitated towards this title, and wished for it on Netgalley late one night. So imagine my surprise when my wish was granted—four years after the publication date? Thanks to Amy Harmon for the opportunity! Face … has the compressed appearance, as though someone had squeezed his head in a vise —Woolcott Gibbs, about Thomas Dewey 1940 campaign Fern Taylor is the daughter of a pastor. She's somewhat sheltered and definitely not the life of the party, like Ambrose. Fern shies away from the spotlight, choosing to spend her time reading and hanging out with her cousin, Bailey, who suffers from Muscular Dystrophy.

But slowly, Fern and Bailey together break through Ambrose’s walls and he opens to them, slowly regaining his self confidence, re-entering society. There is tremendous beauty in this story and my true desire is for you to read it fresh. If you wish more, my updates express my feelings while reading this amazing book. These updates are so descriptive, I was moved so.. they are like a review chapter by chapter. They were adults when they finally got together, but their love felt so juvenile and teenage-like. Yes, there were couple of cute moments, like the kiss in the park, but it wasn't enough to connect me to them. And I don't mean that I wanted explicit sex scenes. I wanted for their love to grow and develop, to turn into something profound and bigger than life. Their constant quoting of Hamlet and Shakespeare wasn't doing it for me. It’s sad. It made me cry (a lot) but it didn’t feel manipulative. It wasn’t some contrived plot I was supposed to feel sad about.

this was such a tender love story, as all love stories should be. but where the surprise came from was not the fondness i felt for the romantic and healing love between two people who desperately needed it, but seeing the importance of a strong and resilient love between friends and family. that, to me, was the greatest gift of this book. All of the types mentioned allow us to be in the moment consumed with the story... becoming as involved as we wish. Fern and Amrbose were beautiful. They woke up my cold-cynical heart and I was so invested. I just wanted them to be happy. Their healing was gradual and precious and I literally don’t know why I loved it so much, but I did. (Even if there were a few points where I thought it might be a bit much, I still loved them.) As well written and put together this story is, it was blanketed with a melancholy and tragic feel to it and whilst I appreciated that the author was setting the tone for a heartbreaking tale it dampened the enjoyment factor somewhat for my reading experience. This book is clearly a five star diamond but aspects of this tragic story shook my reading time. But make no mistake this rating comes with a recommendation and a feeling that I will never forget this original story and consequently the author.There were times throughout this book that I battled with my rating sometimes it felt five star, sometimes it felt less there were times of devastation and times of elation but there is one thing that remained there are some stories that need to be told - making faces is one of them, this story will stay in my book heart for time to come and that is why it can't be anything but a soul changing five stars.
