Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 9 Up—Bring out the tissues: this deftly written tale of three teenagers coping with love and loss will pull heartstrings. Logan, Shay, and Autumn are loosely connected by the now-defunct band called Unravelling Lovely. As the band has imploded, so have their lives. In alternating perspectives, this novel presents each character coping with the loss of someone vitally important to their own understanding of who they are in the world. Singer-songwriter Logan struggles with his anger and self-destructive impulses after his ex-boyfriend's apparent suicide. Shay copes with her own fear and heartache after her twin sister, a music blogger, dies of cancer. At the same time, quiet, artistic Autumn has to break out of her shell of silence and self-control to find her way without her colorful best friend. The likelihood of three young people in the same world all coping with the tragic deaths of three different young people in their orbit definitely stretches the imagination. That said, the core characters live and breathe; they are contradictory, messy, and truly believable, making readers willing believe the premise. In her debut, Woodfolk has written a lovely and introspective coming-of-age novel that fully captures the way friendship, music, family, and romance dovetail to create a young person's identity. The self- and life-defining nature of grief and loss captured so well by authors such as John Green is explored here with humor, intelligence, and grace. VERDICT An excellent selection for YA collections.—Sara Scribner, Marshall Fundamental School, Pasadena, CAYA Graphic Novels

Review

“The Beauty that Remains is a stunning, heart-wrenching look at grief that will stay with you long after you put it down. Be prepared to be broken, be prepared to feel whole again.” —Angie Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of The Hate U Give

“Woodfolk's debut cuts deeply, and then wipes your tears away. 
Wrenching, heartfelt, and vividly human.” —Becky Albertalli, author of Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda
 
The Beauty That Remains is haunting, heart-wrenching, and powerful. A tale of grief that grapples with what’s next after you lose a loved one, this book will remind you to hold fast to those you love, share your heart while you have time, and find the music that makes this wild ride of life better. A tearjerker must-read for teens!” —Dhonielle Clayton, author of the Belles series and coauthor of the Tiny Pretty Things series

"This book 
hurts so good. With three distinct narrators and lyrical prose, Ashley Woodfolk stakes her claim as a fresh new voice to follow in the world of young adult literature." —Julie Murphy, author of Ramona Blue and Dumplin’

"
The Beauty That Remains burns warm and bright with the fires of loss, love, and longing, and hums with poetry and song. This is the sort of book that pieces a broken heart back together, stronger than before. —Jeff Zentner, author of The Serpent King 

"If you're looking for
a book that truly hits the heart stringsThe Beauty That Remains is it." —Seventeen

"A
 breathtaking YA read about life, death, grieving and healing." —HelloGiggles

"A
 beautiful, touching, and heartbreakingly realistic portrayal of love and loss from the lives of three different teens." —BuzzFeed

“The Beauty That Remains is
an emotional, must-read story of the way music connects us, the way tragedy threatens to break us apart, and the way life can change, for better or worse, in an instant.” —Bustle

a moving tale for young readers that will touch mature audiences as well." —Essence

"The 
self- and life-defining nature of grief and loss captured so well by authors such as John Green isexplored here with humor, intelligence, and grace."—School Library Journal, starred review

"Woodfolk has done
an exemplary job of character creating and building. Her three co-protagonists are fully realized, empathetic individuals for whom readers will care. They grow and change believably as they begin to find ways to deal with their grief, and the resolutions of their emotional crises are lucid and deeply satisfying, as, ultimately, is this fine first novel." —Booklist
 
"An ambitious debut from
a writer to watch."—Kirkus

"Woodfolk eloquently depicts how 16-year-olds live in the digital and physical worlds, how the latter can amplify the former, how relationships shift after someone dies, and how life goes on, if you let it. "—Publishers Weekly

"The Beauty That Remains is a gut-wrenching tear-jerker that teens are sure to love." —VOYA

4.4/5⭐️
~This book was all about grief, friendships, relationships, music, & most importantly a hope which pulls you away from the darkness.
~i loved reading every page of this book & getting to know about autumn, logan, shay & their loss which was painful but indeed beautiful in a way which hits me hard with so many effing emotions.
~it’s like catching trauma, pain & anxiety all together at once & restoring ourselves in faith of goodness through music & the friendships we make in our lives which lead our way to happiness overcoming all our struggles.
~so our three main characters are grieving from the loss of their loved ones.....Autumn lost her best friend “tavia” who died in a car accident, Logan is not okay with the death of his ex boyfriend “bram” who died due to drug overdose & Shay is struggling with not having her identical twin “sasha” besides her who died due to leukemia.
~For me shay’s part was more emotional cuz it felt more realistic & shay’s relationship with her friends & her mom was soo strong & subtle which was just undeniably beautiful.
romance between shay & jerome was not soo messy.....it felt good to have jerome for shay.
~mainly autumn & dante were another two characters which were so messed up in a beautiful way and whatever was happening between them was soo good.....i could really feel them both you know........but i felt like logan’s part had it flaws like i didn’t get connected with whatever was happening with him & bram & also the characters around him.....few parts just made me angry for whatever was happening but nonetheless it was still good to hear logan’s POV.
~i love the book for it’s diverse representation & i god damn love it for the way all the characters love & feel for music....so effing relatable i say !!!
~the writing style by author was soo simple & elegant....not too complex which makes it a quick read & i loved it & i’d also love to recommend it to anyone out there.
