Beauty in Chaos is Nacole’s newest release and her first book in over eight years. Let’s just say that Nacole really knows how to make comeback into the writing scene.
Beauty in Chaos is such a unique and emotional story. The blurb truly gives you just a tiny glimpse of what Rory’s story is about.
Rory is just trying to survive foster care and find a way to get full custody of her foster brother once she ages out. What she never anticipated were the Jordan brothers.
One brother is fire and the other ice. I just can’t decided which one is going to burn me first.
Trice and Crew are complete opposites of one another. And Rory struggles with her reactions to each of them; she’s never had to sift through her thoughts and feelings like she does with each of them. But when a family secret is revealed, Rory is faced with an almost impossible decision.
I cannot applaud Nacole enough for how well written this story is. You sense what each of these characters are going through. You find yourself empathizing with Rory, understanding some of these teen’s life choices.
But eve moreso, Nicole delves into the in-depth issues such as foster care and adoption and the nuiances associated with those issues. All the grey areas surrounding our foster care system and how broken it is, and she does it with grace but keeps it real.
Beauty in Chaos is definitely an emotional read and will tug at your heart strings in so many ways. It is worth every penny.
Bones.
