Faces
by A.M. Rose
Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.
The truth was he loved helping people. He loved connecting to them, diving into their minds and finding that one thing they so desperately wanted. He loved drawing the faces of their soulmates. He just wished he could do the same for himself.
This book sounded so interesting and I was really excited about listening to it. It is a wonderfully original story (as far as I know), and it was just as sad as I expected and then some. It has a happy ending, don’t get me wrong, but the story itself is nearly bittersweet. The idea of a world with soulmates but never being able to find yours is something I expect most of us can agree would be heartbreaking. The entire subject and the narrator’s performance just made me bawl.
Dorian is this generations ‘artist’ and draws other people’s soulmates. Sadly, because he is blind, he can’t ever draw his own soulmate. It’s a heartbreaking concept but a really beautiful love story. It’s fade to black/gray, which I don’t read a lot of, but I didn’t miss the spice with this one.

It was only a dream, but sometimes, Dorian would reach out to him, smile at him, whisper something to him, and it made that dream seem more like a vision. A glimpse of the future waiting for them if they just allowed themselves to live it.
Dorian was fast asleep in seconds, but Hayden stayed awake for hours after he drifted off, basking in the feeling of being with him, feeling like he wasn’t holding just Dorian in his arms. He was holding the entire world.
