Sara's Face

(3) YA Seventeen-year-old Sara is talented but emotionally unstable. Her relationship with a famously metamorphic aging rock star turns sinister when the price of his friendship is revealed. Told in documentary form, the taut, chilling story explores the intersection of beauty, cosmetic surgery, celebrity, and criminality. The unreliability of the novel's various characters enhances Burgess's exploration of truth, perception, and manipulation.
