Book Spotlight: What Beauty There Is

I am back for the first time in over a month! With new classes at university picking up and a few personal things that came up, reading and blogging had to take an unfortunate back seat. But, I’m starting this month’s posts (the weekend before it ends the way I naturally do things) with my first ever on a book spotlight!

This is a book I heard about last month, so thank you Penguin Random House and The Write Reads Tour for the opportunity! I can’t help how much I’m enjoying it ^_^

So without further ado…I present to you…

When everything you love is in danger, how long can you keep running to
survive?

Life can be brutal
Winter in Idaho. The sky is dark. It is cold enough to crack bones.

Jack knew it
Jack Dahl has nothing left. Except his younger brother, Matty, who he’d die for. Their mother is gone, and their funds are quickly dwindling, Jack needs to make a choice: lose his brother to foster care, or find the drug money that sent his father to prison.

So did I
Ava lives in isolation, a life of silence. For seventeen years her father, a merciless man, has controlled her fate. He has taught her to love no one.

Did I feel the flutter of wings when Jack and I met? Did I sense the coming
tornado?
But now Ava wants to break the rules – to let Jack in and open her heart. Then she discovers that Jack and her father are stalking the same money, and suddenly Ava is faced with a terrible choice: remain silent or speak out and help the brothers survive.

Looking back, I think I did . . .

Praise for the book:

Perfect for fans of Patrick Ness, Meg Rosoff and Daniel Woodrell, What Beauty There Is an unforgettable debut novel that is as compulsive as it is beautiful, and unflinchingly explores the power of determination, survival and love.

'Beautifully written and superbly constructed, Anderson pulls you onto a chilling
footpath of love and loss and keeps you there until you've read every last
word'  
Ruta Sepetys, bestselling author of Between Shades of Grey
