About this listen

Ambrose Young was beautiful. He was tall and muscular, with hair that touched his shoulders and eyes that burned right through you. The kind of beautiful that graced the covers of romance novels, and Fern Taylor would know. She'd been reading them since she was 13. But maybe because he was so beautiful he was never someone Fern thought she could have...until he wasn't beautiful anymore.

Making Faces is the story of a small town where five young men go off to war, and only one comes back. It is the story of loss. Collective loss, individual loss, loss of beauty, loss of life, loss of identity. It is the tale of one girl's love for a broken boy and a wounded warrior's love for an unremarkable girl. This is a story of friendship that overcomes heartache, heroism that defies the common definitions, and a modern tale of Beauty and the Beast, where we discover that there is a little beauty and a little beast in all of us.

I have read many many books in my life and this book had the most well written storyline ever!
that captured the characters emotions to the hilt. Life is full of twists and turns, but this book as opposed to many others, got me into tears. Very well done a good listen.

This book is not what I was expecting and turned out to be so much more! The joy of friendships and love, the agony of love and loss and the comfort for finding home.
Narration by Rob Shapiro was perfect.

Not a bad story but just not for me. I get the learnings behind the story but just too much of it. Just felt way too contrived to be relatable in any way.

Meh

The narrator was pleasant to listen to but the story was predictable. It felt like a bunch of characters from other books and ended up in this one.

It was like every possible American stereotype was mashed into one book
