Hello! And welcome to my stop (first post) on the blog tour for What beauty there is by Cory Anderson – I’ve yet to receive my lovely, lovely ARC in the post so I am just sharing my excitement of what is to come… when I’ve read the book I will post a review 🙂
And I am excited for this one!
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 . . .
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.

Judging from everything you included in this book, it’s really easy to tell that this book will be quite an interesting one. The synopsis itself (if that is a synopsis, I’m not sure because I’ve never seen one like it) is already different from typical books.

It is the synopsis, and yes you are right – it does stand out from a lot of the other YA book blurbs out there.
