Face transplants are extremely rare and so it was insightful being able to go into the science behind the surgery. Maisie’s injuries were really hard to read about, but the way the transplant worked was very interesting. And t o say her accident was life changing is an understatement, especially when she decides to go through with surgery for a partial face transplant… This story really does take readers on an honest and emotional journey which goes beyond the meaning of beauty.įaceless was a great story it was unlike anything I’d ever read before which made it all the more engaging to read.
