"You can’t blend in when you were born to stand out."
This post isn't beauty related but I thought it was worth sharing. If you didn't already know I am a HUGE book geek. I love reading and just getting lost in a story and forgetting where you are and what the time is and just focusing on becoming part of the story. Recently I have been reading a book called Wonder by R.J. Palacio which is about a little boy with a deformity in his face (sorry I don’t know the technical term that is described in the book) and he has never been to school because of the way he looks. People have acted horribly after seeing his face which has discouraged his family to let him go out into the world. However, one day they decide to send him to a school and the book pretty much talks about how he copes with the looks and comments he gets when people see him. It shows how even though no one looks at him as an ordinary kid; he still is. It shows other peoples perspectives and how they see him. If this doesn't interest you then I don’t know what will. It is a seriously amazing and powerful read. It really makes you think about how humans behave and how they should behave. I love the messages you get from this book and how moving and uplifting it is. The main character, August, is an adorable, charming character whom you will fall in love with instantly. I promise you that this is an extremely satisfying read and you will not regret it. I definitely recommend it.
Have you read this book? If you have what did you think of it? Have I convinced you to read it if you haven't already?
Thank you for reading!
Hope you have a good day :)
