Beautiful Strangers by Glenna Maynard

5.0

---

I am terrible at writing reviews for books that I like this much. I am going to give it a good go and do my best. At the moment I am on a young adult/ New adult kick. I seem to be sucking up every book I can find. Some don't sit well with me and others blow my mind. This is one of the books that blew my mind! From beginning to end the one thing I noticed most was the raw honesty of the story. Most would say that Grace is an unlikable character. If I am being honest I find her very relatable. She's broken--damaged and doesn't try to pretty it up. She is a woman with a past and makes real mistakes. Life isn't perfect and it isn't a chocolate feast and this book shows that. I am so glad to see a story that lays it bare and makes no apologies. The relationships with the people in the book are so well done. I had a friend that reminded me of JoJo so that struck a cord in me. As for the technical end of the book. It flowed great, going from scene to scene I was left wanting more more and more! I was glad to see two people that were so broken rebuild together. This is a great story with real, vivid characters and I recommend it to anyone that is a fan of the New Adult genre!
