There is something very unique about a book that asks you to acknowledge that you are wrong, and then strives to educate you as to why. There are a multitude of misconceptions flying around the central issues in Beard in Mind and the characters within. The word I would use to describe this book would be illuminating.
As a fan of Penny Reid and the Winston Brothers series I thought I knew Shelly Sullivan. I thought I understood her surly disposition and her indifferent ways. I really thought I knew Beau Winston—the charming flirt with a strong family support system. I was content in the idea of their story because I thought I knew where everything was going. But I was wrong. In typical Penny Reid fashion, there is no formula. There is no standard trope, and there are a few curveballs thrown along the way.
Throughout the story we get to know the real Beau Winston and the real Shelly Sullivan. And these are some of the most complex characters that Reid has written. We learn about the inner turmoil faced by both main characters. Beau—the face of the easy-going twin whose charm is likened to a habit formed and solidified over time. Shelly—the woman so consumed with fear that her outward appearance reflects none of her emotions.
We are also shown the unexpected inner desires of these characters and that is where the relationship begins to form. It’s how these two can move past the antagonism and conflict to form a lasting bond and partnership. Beau is ready for commitment after seeing the transformation of his siblings and their significant others. Shelly is similarly motivated by her family. She is desperate to confront her fears and anxiety head-on in order to play a more prominent role in the lives of her loved ones.
Beau and Shelly not only surprise the reader, but they surprise each other, too.
Penny weaves her unique storytelling in a way that makes these characters known. It’s obvious and imperative that she explain Shelly’s struggle and behavior. That she corrects assumptions and generalizations about Shelly’s actions. Beau goes from a simple character with a singular focus to a layered and complicated individual.
I loved this book for the characters and the journey they take. I loved the way Beau and Shelly come together and find their way. I often say that each book I read adds something to my life and this one is no different. I wanted to see Beau find his happiness just like the rest of the boys and I was not disappointed this is uniquely his and its beautiful. ( )
