Faceless by Alyssa B. Sheinmel....When Maisie Winters wakes up, she's in the hospital.
The last thing she remembers is running through the hills of her neighborhood one misty morning. Slowly, she puts the pieces together. Before she could make it home, a storm gathered. Lightning hit a power line and sparks rained down, the hot-burning electrical fire consuming her. Destroying her face. Where her nose, cheeks, and chin used to be, now there isnothing. Maisie's lucky enough to qualify for a rare medical treatment: a face transplant. At least, everyone says she's lucky. But with someone else's features staring back at her in the mirror, Maisie looksand feelslike a stranger. The doctors promised that the transplant was her chance to live a normal life again, but nothing feels normal anymore. Before, she knew who she wasa regular girl who ran track and got good grades, who loved her boyfriend and her best friend. Now, she can't even recognize herself. New York Times bestselling author Alyssa Sheinmel has created a gripping and gorgeously written tale of identity and love. This is a story of losing yourself and the long, hard fight to find your way back. ****goodreads review****
