Ugly people don't have feelings. They're not like everyone else. They don't notice if you stare at them and turn away. And if they did notice, it wouldn't hurt them. They're not like real people. Or that's what I used to think. Before I learned...
After the car crash that leaves her best friend dead, Jenna is permanently scarred. She struggles to rebuild her life, but every stare in the street, every time she looks in the mirror, makes her want to retreat further from the world. Until she meets Ryan. Ryan's a traveller. When he and his mother moor their narrow boat on the outskirts of a village, she tells him this time it will be different. He doesn't believe her; he can't imagine why this place shouldn't be as unwelcoming as the rest. Until he meets Jenna. But as Jenna and Ryan grow closer, repercussions from the crash continue to reverberate through the community. And then a body is found...
I was looking through the March releases on Goodreads and came across this book. I really love stories where some tragedy totally changes the MC's life, for better or worse, in this case worse, and a guy or girl comes along to change life back to good or better. This sounds like a great story and I hope I get the chance to read it.
Hm, interesting premise! I hadn't heard of this one, so thanks for the heads up. :)
