Faceless- Alyssa Sheinmel

Faceless is a book that I recently completed. I personally really enjoyed this book. I actually did not choose this book this time, I was actually recommended it by my teacher (Ms. Belkov). I'm glad she did because the book was really fascinating. The book is realistic fiction and romantic so I would suggest it to people who like those type of books I believe you will enjoy this one.

So "Faceless" is about a sixteen year old girl named Maise and she goes through a life-altering traumatic event. That event was that one day she was on her daily run and she was running through a storm. She witnesses a tree getting stricken by lighting that tree ends up falling on power lines, and sparks started to fall all over her body. She was severely burned on her face and on her left side. She wakes up from a coma to find out that she has been in the hospital for a couple months and her face is ruined. Her face was so badly burned that she no longer has a nose, checks, and chin. She was mortified When she gets the opportunity to pick whether to keep her face like that or to get a face transplant from donor who eventually die, and she will take the parts she will need from their face to reconstruct hers. She picks to use the face of a dead person. Soon she deals with psychological problems and self-image issues too. On top of that she has issues at home with her parents, boyfriend, and best friend. Soon she will learn that she was meant to live a long, lucky, and wonderful life.
