The Beauty That Remains by Ashley Woodfolk

4.0

Ugh, I hate it when I don't get around to reading a book until four years after it was published.
This one has stayed on my list because I just love that cover. Even though the title is one of those generic phrases that is ubiquitous in a certain sector of YA. It had been so long since I put this on hold that I'd completely forgotten what it was about.

This book is about grief. And it is about music.

Three characters, three perspectives. All of them have recently lost someone IMPORTANT to them.

They're all connected to this one band, in different ways, but those connections aren't all revealed until pretty late in the book.

The voices of the three characters aren't particularly distinct, but the characters themselves are.

It took me a while to read, but that's partially because I needed to put it down after every chapter or so to get a break from the grief.

This is a book with feelings.
