All The Tiny Embers
(2023)(The third book in the Beauty From Ashes series)
A novel by Vanessa Gray Bartal
Addie Morris has always been the glue that holds her family together. Only a year older than her brother, Tobin, she's the bedrock of his life, the one who keeps everything from falling apart. When he returns from the army, struggling to survive, it's Addie who attempts to prop up his flailing life. When his former best friend and fellow perpetual adolescent reenters the picture, Addie wants him to go away again. If there is one thing Tobin doesn't need, it's Connor Smith urging him to misbehave.
While it's true that Connor is not a fan of adulthood and all its encroaching responsibility, he's come farther than his high school party boy lifestyle, hasn't he? And how did Addie, bookworm older sister of his lifelong best friend, suddenly turn into the beauty he can't stop thinking about? How can he insert himself into her life with the least amount of work possible? Because even if Connor spends his days granting wishes for dying adults, that doesn't mean he's ready to grow up. He's certain he can have it all and be happy, except for one little question that won't go away: If Addie is so busy taking care of everyone else, who is taking care of Addie?
The third and final book in the poignant Beauty From Ashes trilogy explores what happens when we peel back the layers and embrace real life with all its joys and flaws.
Genre: Romance
