What Beauty There Is gives us a fast-paced adrenaline rush with each chapter. 17 year old Jack remembers the good times with his family before drugs and prison took over. Now he must protect his little brother Matty and make sure they stay together. The new girl at school, Ava, opens each chapter to draw new pangs of suspense. Stolen money, an evil man out for revenge, and a harsh winter environment all contribute to the anticipation. Is Jack doomed or will everything be okay? Where is the briefcase and would it even help? Who can you trust? This book is about survival. There are bad people/bad families, but some good too in the world.

I totally loved this book until the last 2 pages. I read them twice but just didn't get that wrap up. Otherwise, 2 thumbs up!
