5 stars!!! 
 My Review will Never do this book Justice ... There are no words to show the Deepness, the Emotions, the Masterpiece this book is! 
 I'll just tell you that upon finishing this book, my reaction was... 
 Do you know those books that make you laugh and cry, and think and feel!... all at the same time? 
 ... those books with such wonderful, amazing characters that feel so human to you, so close to you ... you come to love them so much, that they become your friends and you can't help but root for them? 
 ... those books that fill your soul! ... give you hope and make you want to aprecciate every second of your every day? 
 Making Faces is one of those books!!! 
 There's a Book Trailer of this book (And it has some Minor Spoilers), you can see it here. 
 I'll try to show you what this book is about... but it will have some SPOILERS in it, because I don't think I can tell you about Bailey without spoiling something ... so if you don't wanna be spoiled (minor spoiled) don't read the review ... Just go straight to the book! :) 
 Making Faces tells the story of Fern, Ambrose and Bailey. 
 Meet Fern: 
 Fern Taylor is an 18 years old ugly duckling - she is tiny, scrawny and flat; has curly, untamable red hair and freckles; wears glasses over her brown eyes and wears braces. She's the invisible, ugly girl, no guy pays attention to. 
 But Fern's exterior appearance is no match for her beauty within. Fern has a big heart, is selfless, carefree, smart, kind, funny and positive. 
 Meet Ambrose: 
 Ambrose Young is the town's Wrestling Team's Star and he's handsome, muscular, hot and smart... (Without being a jerk). 
 He is idolized and gets lots of attention from everyone, but he doesn't really like the pressure and he struggles with people's expectations ... he just wants to be normal... he wonders about what he'll do for college, to pursue wrestling or not. 
 Meet Bailey: 
 Bailey Sheen is a cool, funny, intelligent 18 year old guy. He's the Wrestling team's coach's son and he loves wrestling, but he can't play the sport due to his Muscular Dystrophy (MD), a disease he was born with, that makes him lose his muscles strength gradually. 
 He's in a wheelchair now ... But he's strong willed, full of life, courageous and kind ... Bailey wants to be a hero! ... To help save someone. 
 The story: 
 Fern and Bailey are cousins and have been BFF's since birth. They share secrets, have fun and hang out together. They're happy, kind and enjoy life to the fullest. 
 Fern has always been in love with Ambrose Young, the handsome, muscular, hot star of the Wrestling Team, but being a very plain, ugly, invisible, scrawny girl... he doesn't really notice her... 
 "Sometimes beauty, or lack thereof, gets in the way of really knowing someone" 
 Fern sees more into Ambrose than his beautiful exterior... she's curious about him inside, she wants to know more about him... so when her beautiful blonde friend Rita, asks for her help in writing Love Notes to Ambrose, she takes this chance to get to know him better... 
 "Do you think there's any way someone like Ambrose could fall in love with someone like me?" Fern caught Bailey's gaze in the mirror again, knowing he would understand. 
 "Only if he's lucky." 
 Bailey is deeply in Love with Rita, but they're only Childhood Friends. 
 "It's hard to come to terms with the fact that you aren't going to be loved the way you want to be loved." 
 Ambrose and Fern enjoy the writing and exchange of the Love Notes... and Ambrose starts liking the girl in the letters (who he thinks is Rita) ... and eventually Fern catches Ambrose kissing Rita... as they start dating. 
 But soon Ambrose starts seeing that the girl he's dating - Rita - has nothing to do with the smart, funny girl in the letters ... and he confronts Rita, who spills out the truth. 
 Ambrose gets really angry at Fern and goes to ask her to give his letters back. She apologizes and nervous, in the middle of it, without wanting to, she declares his love for him. 
 But, a friend of Ambrose pulls him away ... and her declaration goes unanswered. 
 Then, Ambrose decides to join the Army ... and he convinces his 4 Wrestling Team Mates and Best Friends - Paulie, Grant, Jesse and Beans - to apply too. 
 So ... the 5 boys go to the army... and are eventually sent off to Iraq... 
 Time passes by ... 
 And Ambrose catches himself thinking about Fern and missing tiny things about the girl in the letters. 
 But ... as the time to return home approaches, there's a bomb explosion... 
 And only Ambrose survives ... 
 He comes back home alone and broken; with the right side of his face deeply scarred and his heart full of guilt and hurt. 
 Ambrose closes himself up in the pain he feels for the loss of his 4 friends and the guilt he feels for having survived ... and hides away from the world, only leaving the house at night. 
 Months pass by ... 
 And one day... Ambrose encounters Fern again, by accident. 
 Fern has grown out of her plain ugliness, doesn't wear braces anymore and has bloomed and filled out in all the right places, while Ambrose has lost his previous beauty. 
 But, Fern is still in love with him ... and she still sees his beauty. 
 Slowly, Bailey and Fern start pulling Ambrose out of his hideouts ... they hang out with him and make him laugh. 
 "Ambrose bit his tongue so he wouldn't laugh. They were such dorks. Such an odd little twosome. And he had the sudden urge to cry. Again. (...) Fern had turned him into a blubbering mess. And he was crazy about her. And her floating friend too." 
 Eventually, Ambrose Falls for Fern's Beauty (Within and Exterior) ... 
 "He did want her. Desperately. Her light, her loveliness, her enthusiasm for simple things. All of her. Everything. He wanted to pick her up, right off of her dancing feet, her legs dangling above the ground, and kiss her until they were breathless with passion instead of laughter." <3 
 ... And, little by little, Bailey and Fern heal Ambrose's heart and show him it's okay to enjoy life again. 
 "Maybe everyone represents a piece of the puzzle. We all fit together to create this experience we call life. None of us can see the part we play or the way it all turns out. Maybe the miracles that we see are just the tip of the iceberg. And maybe we just don't recognize the blessings that come as a result of terrible things." 
 I'll end up by saying that Making Faces became one of my
