Description : 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 thirteen. But maybe because he was so beautiful he was never someone Fern thought she could have...until he 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 thirteen. 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.

REVIEWS :Here's my casting for Ambrose^^^** FULL REVIEW NOW POSTED ** Absolutely breathtaking! 5 stars!! This book blew me away!! It was beautifully written and deeply moving, with a very powerful message about true beauty, silver linings, and second chances. A poignant and unconventional tale about heroism, courage, love, loss, friendship, and self-acceptance. Every once in a while a book comes a long that, from the moment I first hear about it, takes over my mind and heart and doesn't let go until I've Let Me Just . . .The end of this book broke my heart and made me rage. Okay, the very end was a good ending. But before that I just, there was, WAIT . . . So in this book I loved many characters but my favorites were Fern, Bailey and Ambrose. Fern and Bailey are cousins who live next door to each other. Bailey has muscular dystropy and Fern helps him in anything he needs. They are wonderful characters and funny and smart and dorks and I loved them. I wanted to be their best friend. Yes, I say *5+++ Stars!*A touching portrayal of not only finding beauty within, but of finding the beauty within the ugly...There's so much beauty to be found in this story, and not nearly enough words to adequately honor it. This book starts off simple — discreet even — with an undeniable depth and wisdom that slowly sneaks up and consumes you. Its incredible insight is gently suggested, but powerfully received. With an expertly smooth execution, this author makes it all seem entirely effortless as she This book had been on my radar for a long time. Let me say that I have never read an Amy Harmon book that I didn't love. So why did I put off reading this one for so long? Well, I honestly just wasn't ready to suffer another heartache at the hands of this incredibly talented author. Her books are always beautiful, but highly emotional. I have to be in the right frame of mind to dive into one of her books, with my tissues handy and ready to shed a few tears.As expected, 'Making Faces' was exactly More than 5 Stars! Wow... just wow! This is one of those special books I wish I could give extra stars to- 5 stars, it just doesn’t seem adequate. When I read a story like this, it’s hard to put it into words how I feel. This book blew me away. One of the very best books I’ve read this year! Fern Taylor and Ambrose Young... Fern is that awkward girl. Red hair, freckles, glasses, braces. She loves to read, takes care of her best friend and cousin, Bailey, and remains closed off to most. Those 4.5 StarsAmbrose …. But imagine him with longer hair! Nobody or Nowhere?Fern: I’d rather be nobody at home than somebody somewhere else. Ambrose: I’d rather be nowhere. Being nobody when you’re expected to be somebody gets old.Fern: How would you know? Have you ever been nobody?Ambrose: Everybody who is somebody becomes nobody the moment they fall. BEFORE OR AFTER? Saw a review for this book and it sounded fantastic so started it yesterday. SMART OR BEAUTIFUL? Fern… Sweet, Sweet FernThe whole HEART-BREAKING OR HEART-MENDING?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 If I could give this 10 stars, I would. How do I explain the emotions that this book evoked? Dear Lord.Reading Making Faces felt as if I was in a movie theatre, one that had a three sixty degree high definition screen, where each character was portrayed in bold and vivid colours. I felt the pain, joy, sadness, victory, serenity; emotions that were pulled almost effortlessly. It's difficult to write a review that could even remotely explain how this story decimated my heart.From Fern to Ambrose Making Faces is the first book I have read by Amy Harmon. Even though I knew what it was going to be about, I wasn’t prepared for the beauty of the words. I wasn’t prepared for the impact the words would have on me. And I wasn’t prepared for the raw emotions this book would make me feel. Fern Taylor is a red headed waif like girl that maybe took a little longer than some to blossom. She had curly crazy red hair, was small and wore braces until her senior year in high school. Her father is a This isn’t just a military book,this isn’t just a romance book, this isn’t just a new adult book, For me, this is “the book” of 2013! ”Victory is in the battle.” Amy Harmon hit it out of the park with this story. The writing is PHENOMENAL the storyline UNIQUE and the characters UNFORGETTABLE!!This story is brilliantly told in a narrative format of Fern, Baily, Rita, Ambrose and the friends and families of Hannah Lakes, PA.The writing had me continuously highlighting quote after quote. The ** AUDIO PRICE DROP **$2.99 (normally $30.00) http://amzn.to/1agiVPT 4/10/2015*******************************************************Re-Read (8/5/2015)I actually listened to this one on a couple family car trips. Even though it's been two years since I originally read it I still experienced all the same feels. My teens verdict -> they loved it. Thumbs up all around. *******************************************************P.R.I.C.E.L.E.S.S. I feel inadequate to write a review that will do this Going in to this book, I thought I new what to expect. I new it had a military theme because I'd read the blurb and I thought I new what was going to happen. So imagine my surprise when I read it and discovered that it wasn't at all about what I expected. This is Fern and Ambrose's story, but it's about so much more than that. It's a story about loss, pain and self acceptance.Making Faces sends a messages to the reader. For me the one word that came to mind is Perception. We all have our own 5 Stars!! “Making Faces" was hands down the most emotional book I have read by this author. Once again Amy Harmon bewitched me with her beautiful story, captivating flawless writing and her fantastic storytelling. I was so hooked from the beginning that I couldn’t put it down. This book was everything I was expected and everything I wanted. “Making Faces” is a touching, though-provoking, beautifully written story about life, love, family, self-acceptance and friendship. Is a story about what it ***2.8 stars***- WARNING, VERY UNPOPULAR OPINION -I'll try to make it short.This book didn't work for me for few reasons, and to be honest, I think I'm being too generous giving 2.8, but I loved Bailey that much. Fern: There was no debt to her character and no growth. From the flashbacks from her childhood to present day, she stayed the same mellow character throughout the whole book. At first, I though she was cute and sweet, but after couple of hundred pages of reading the same thing over and.
