Sadly, this book just wasn't for me. By about the halfway point I was losing interest and towards the end, I was just skimming the pages. I don't have any fundamental issues with it and it appears to be well researched; it is not easy to take on subjects such as the one featured in this book.

My main issue was the plot. The events were repetitive and didn't seem to develop. I actually thought one of the subplots was far more interesting and would've liked to have seen it better developed and more prominent within the book.

From other reviews I have read, it is clearly very popular and I wish Erin all the best with her book.

Scars Like Wings was a pretty good (if a bit predictable) read. Ava is a teenager who was involved in a house fire and lost her parents. She's been badly burned and had 19 surgeries over a year but they haven't been able to 'fix' the horrific scarring that causes people to stare at her in public. Ava is going back to high school and promises her aunt and uncle she'll give it a try for two weeks but doesn't expect to stay. It's an interesting YA novel that takes a look at how appearance matters in high school.
