I finished
North of Beautiful and it was a good teen love story/problem novel. I liked the dynamic and resolution of the abusive father problem -- he is just awful to both his daughter and his wife. I liked the progression of the relationship of the two teens. I really didn't feel the impact of the birthmark on Terrra's life. Maybe this would come through better in movie form. I kept forgetting about her appearance. The author mentions that she gets stared at once in a while, and then I would think -- oh yeah, she's got that birthmark on her face. The same for the cleft pallette scar. There were a few moments, in the orphanage, and throughout the end of the book that the impact of these defects was felt, but I didn't think it was the main theme of the book. The book was well written and I enjoyed reading it.
Now I'm reading
Love is a Four-Legged Word, by Kandy Shepherd. It's a light-hearted romance featuring a dog. I can't resist a sappy dog book once in a while.
