Survival

What Beauty There Is by Cory Anderson is a compelling read with plenty of action and interest.

Ava begins each chapter with her point of view from an almost omniscient viewpoint. She is retelling the story of her experience with Jack. They seemed destined to meet and to have a powerful impact on each other.

Their fathers were both involved in a robbery/murder which ended with Jack’s dad in jail. Ava’s dad is truly psychological and she was raised to he as cold and calculating as him. However, she gets involved with helping Jack and his little brother after their mother’s death.

Jack is being hunted by the criminals involved with his and Ava’s dad. He’s trying to protect his brother and thinks the best way to do this is by finding the drug money involved in the robbery.

This begins a a crazy quest for survival. I really enjoyed this book (which was gifted to me). It’s beautifully written while still being edgy.
