Beauty In The Ashes we meet Sutton and Caelan, They live across the hall from each other. It all starts with Caelan being an Arties wanting his quiet so he can work and Sutton making too much noise, And Caelan  just busting in to Sutton’s Apartment to tell her to keep the noise down…. Well not in them nice of words. Sutton turns it into a game with Cael, She likes to get under his skin. Everyone on their floor cowers to him but her, she’s not scared. In fact she finds herself looking for ways to piss Caelan off Just so she can see him and talk to him.As I read Beauty In The Ashes, I found myself not being able to put the book down the characters just came to life on the pages and it was like your right there with them. These two broken people trying to live life by running from their problems or by using substances, I at one point almost put the book down and wasn’t going to finish, I was really wanting the book to go one way and I could tell it wasn’t going that way and I couldn’t bring myself to see the characters hurt any more. I just couldn’t do it. Well needless to say I love All Mecalea Smeltzer’s books so I finished and I am 100% happy and okay with the way the book ended that’s not saying I didn’t cry like a baby way more that once throw out the book because I totally did!So throughout Beauty In The Ashes , We see and learn about love and loss and substance abuse and running from our problems, We also see how the characters see how destructive their relationship is after something from the past comes back to haunt one of them and it almost ruins them both. From here we See growth and your heart grows with them and you get peace and are okay….. lol seriously I loved this book I know not all books stick out to everyone but this one did to me and it may just be because, I seen some of this stuff growing up and I can relate. But Hands Down I give Beauty In The Ashes 5 + STARS
