The other side of beautiful was in fact beautiful and a refreshing read.

Mercy hasn't left her home in 2 years, but when it burns down she has no choice but to face her fears and the world again. What better way to do so than purchasing a beat up campervan on a whim and escaping on a road trip in the Australian outback. 

As Mercy embarks on her somewhat forced upon journey, we witness her overcoming the many crippling aspects of her anxiety. Not to mention also growing to love the many beautiful people that cross her path.

Andy couldn't be anymore lovely. He has the right amount of patience, understanding, and calmness, with a nice pair of strong arms 💪 😀.  Their blossoming friendship and genuine fondness for each other is so wholesome, as is this book. 
I really enjoyed and found myself there with Mercy on this one. It also makes me want to go and experience another road trip. Loved it.
