The Beauty That Remains by Ashley Woodfolk
4.0
okay i need to read something happy now. holy moley am i a wreck.
The Beauty That Remains follows three protagonists who have, in the past year, lost someone close to them. Grief is a central theme throughout these different perspectives, along with forgiveness and courage.
I feel emotionally taxed.
Also, I feel like there were moments of biophobia in this... ***SPOILER WARNING***
....When Bram broke up with Logan, Logan notes how it being a girl and that he didn't know Bram liked girls made it worse. I thought this might be addressed later on and that maybe it was spur of the moment because he'd just been broken up but it doesn't get talked about again. You could interpret Logan becoming friends with Yana and seeing her in a new light as him taking this back but I need that in words.
Other than this disappointing element I really enjoyed the book.
