Synopsis/Blurb:

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.

‘Beautifully written and superbly constructed, Anderson pulls you onto a chilling footpath of love and loss and keeps you there until you’ve read every last word’ Ruta Sepetys, bestselling author of Between Shades of Grey

Here are just some of the things some other awesome bloggers on the tour are saying about the book so far.

Victoria over at Victoria Wilks says “Beautifully written, emotionally driven and compelling to the end, this is a remarkable story that will stay with me for a very long time.”

Noly over at The Artsy Reader says “If you are looking for a unique, deep, and touching YA that will make your heart race, your palms sweat, and the hours of sleep trickle away because you just have to turn more pages, this is the book for you.”

Hannah over at Alpha-Beta Hannah says “I was certainly hooked by this book and enjoyed the (really heart-wrenching!) experience of it.”

Ellie over at Ellie Mai Blogs says “There is so much to love about this book but prepare to have your heart ripped out of your chest because of these characters. The plot is very engaging and beautifully written, it isn’t your usual young adult or thriller and I’m so glad I enjoyed it as much as I did.”

Leslie over at Books Are The New Black says “This was a really good read. There’s a lot of hard subjects and it can make it hard to read for some. I totally understand that. It’s been a while since I’ve read a book this intense. This book is just so beautifully written. I don’t know that I’ve ever rooted for anyone more than I did for Jack. I highly recommend it!”
