Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Amanda

Let me just start off by saying that I think the cover is striking. So simple but yet so raw. Which pretty much summarizes the book as well. Terra was one of those characters that had the ability to inspire me, she lived in an environment that was constantly putting her down but was able to hold her head up high and work hard for what she wanted. Which is something that I look for in a character. What she lacked though was confidence. It was great to have a character with an easily identified flaw. She seemed so perfect until you got up close. Terra was able to overcome obstacles with the help of Jacob. Oh how I loved Jacob! He's the sensitive and adorable guy every girl wishes they had. He was able to see past Terra's birthmark and help her come to terms and accept herself for who she is. Overall I think that North of Beautiful went way beyond my expectations and helped me realize that even the most beautiful people know their true north.
