Making Faces

Product Information

She was right. He was partially blind, but in spite of that, maybe because of that, he was seeing things more clearly than he ever had before.” All in all, “Making Faces” was a wonderful, moving tale with a powerful message that I loved – beauty comes from the inside – characters that will touch you deeply and a story line that will give you many life lessons. As Fern and Ambrose grow closer, the lives of their friends grow more complicated. Bailey lives with the pain of watching the girl he loves endure a living hell. His light-hearted presence in Fern and Ambrose's lives is in direct contrast to the sadness he lives with. Bailey has a disease. It makes his muscles weak. It might kill him. He doesn't like it when things die. It's hard for him," Fern said simply, honestly. She actually sounded kinda smart. Suddenly, the events at the wrestling camp earlier that summer made sense to Ambrose. Bailey wasn't supposed to wrestle because he had a disease. Ambrose felt bad all over again. While this book was not particularly surprising, I absolutely loved it. It was everything that I expected from Amy Harmon. I fell in love with these characters and could not stop listening to this story. I listened to the entire book, straight through, in one day. I was absolutely consumed by it. Hands-down, this is one of my best reads for the year! I loved it!

The answer is always the same when it comes to Amy Harmon's books. Both. I am not sure anything I'll say will do justice to Making Faces. It was a contradiction, sunny days swimming in a lake and nights full of nightmares, a song of mourning and hope that stirred a whirlwind of emotions that could be released only through tears, a lament and an ode to beauty. Beauty that can be found within, in caring, and giving and sharing. And honoring those you left behind by living life to the fullest. It was inspirational. Devastating. And undoubtedly, soul-gripping.Read this in The Internet Archive. I'm sure the original coffee table book must be more impressive with larger and clearer pictures. But I'm glad I read it anyway. Kevin draws faces with expertise. I liked reading about his past as well and feel very proud that he survived his turbulent adolescence growing up as a closeted gay teen in a conservative small town. Now, he is one of the most notable makeup artists of our generation and seeing him live his truth and release such popular makeup products is very inspiring. The book would be a great introduction to beginners of makeup and fans of Aucoin. I think sometines a beautiful face is false advertising too, and too many of us don't take the time to look beneath the lid." Ambrose Young is the kind of guy that everybody loves. The guys want to be him and the girls just want him. He's the high school wrestling star, destined to do great things. On top of that, he's extremely attractive and popular. Yet, there is a softer, more romantic side to Ambrose that few people ever get to see. There is so much more to the story that I've decided not to talk about in my review because I didn't know any more than I've told you at this point when I started reading and I absolutely loved the process of just watching the story unfold and not fully knowing what to expect. Just know that I do not have a single complaint about this book. Not one. Just trust me and read it. I promise you will not be disappointed.

This is definitely a book that makes you feel and think about things like your own mortality, standards of beauty and dealing with the loss of loved ones. It's not just a love a story, it's a story that will have you experience emotions while you go through the journey with the characters.
