review 1: I wish Nyrae Dawn was around 17 years ago when I was a teenager. All of her books are so inspiring, with dynamic characters and realistic situations. Searching for Beautiful is no exception, I absolutely loved this book. I enjoy her books with younger characters more then her new-adult novels--there's something more refreshing and sweet about her younger characters. I also love that her characters are working to better themselves, not for a relationship or another person, but just for themselves. I recommend this book to all young adult readers, as well as adults, like me, who enjoy good YA stories.
review 2: Thank you to Netgalley and Entangled Publishing, LLC for allowing me to read and review an ARC of this book.Honestly, I could not help but feel for Brynn.... more There were times that I wished she made smarter choices, or was more open with her friends, but that's the beauty of Nyrae Dawn's writing - even though we may not agree with everything a character does, we can still understand why they did what they did and empathize with them. Brynn was already in such a vulnerable spot when she met the boyfriend who would ultimately betray her that it's understandable and forgivable for her to get involved with him. She ignored all the warning signs, but given her situation, it's easy to see why she would.Christian was great! I loved how he was so confident and sure of himself. He was a really good influence on Brynn whenever she started to feel ashamed, guilty, or embarrassed around her old friends. Around him, she could be herself and to hell with what everyone else thought. He seemed to give her the strength she needed to work her way partially back to who she was before - someone who loved pottery, had a close relationship with her father, and had friends. And although I don't think she will ever be quite the same as she was, those were the things that made her truly happy before her tragedies.While this isn't a really light, happy read, I think it is still very worthwhile in that it touches on some very serious subjects facing teens today (or even back in my day, so old people like me can relate, too!). less
