UK version
Make sure you have tissues at the ready for this emotional heartwarming read. What happens is tragic, and there's lots of detail about Maisie's feelings. There's anger, hurt, frustration and acceptance, not necessarily in that order and it takes both family, friends, and medical staff to help Maisie deal with her new self. She reacts impulsively over a few issues, and then has to sort out the resulting mess. It made me feel grateful for what I have, even though my body is fairly useless; at least I can taste and smell things which Maisie can't. Imagining losing those two senses is impossible, but Maisie's difficulties convey what that is like. Set aside a few hours to read this!I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review on my blog Nayu's Reading Corner [...]

A great book for all ages!!!
I loved Faceless because I felt connected to Maisie from the very beginning of the book and I fell in love with her and the other characters along the way. The beginning of the book, in my opinion, was a little slow but toward the middle of the book was when I fell in love with it and I honestly didn't want to put it down after that. The author did an amazing job really showing how Maisie felt and giving a lot of detail, not too much and not too little either. There was a lot of twist and turns in the book that made me laugh, cry and throw my book on the ground out of anger and I loved going through all that emotion; it made me feel more connected. I strongly recommend you to read this book; it's good for all ages, no cussing and no inappropriate terms.

Extraordinarily down to earth, tho painful journey
We don't always respond to a crises the way we think we would until it happens to us. I felt the author truly had "walked the walk" and this couldn't possibly be a work of fiction. Well done Alyssa Scheinmel. I'm sure you met some extraordinary people during your research for this novel!

Faceless is jaw dropping
I love this book first I would say that if there is any book I like to see as a movie this is the book but I would love for the author to add a chapter about her life five years later but overall this book was awesome its also inspiring, jaw dropping it also teaches a lesson that "no matter what happens to you in life that you have to stay strong and believe in yourself and be with the people that love you "
