A review by jena
We Were Beautiful by Heather Hepler
3.0
Heather Hepler writes a beautiful novel about family, love & loss in We Were Beautiful. It is a well written novel that follows Mia, a fifteen year old girl who has experienced great loss in her life, as well as physical changes that are hard for her to accept. She was involved in a car accident that killed her older sister and now, a year later, she is spending the summer living in NYC with a grandmother she has never met. It is a summer of change and growth. It’s a summer of healing and acceptance.
The novel starts off slow but gradually builds up pace once you are introduced to the characters and the journey they are all on. Mia meets a great group of people that she can quickly call friends at the beginning of her trip to NYC. Hepler develops so many of the minor characters into people that you really want to get to know and people that you are really rooting for!
I would recommend this novel to anyone that has ever felt hopeless or has struggled with forgiveness or self appreciation or to anyone who just needs a feel good story! It was a 3 star read for me!
