Attain The Charm Necklace (Beauty In The Breakdown, #1) Illustrated By Lauren Marie Lopp Conveyed As Booklet

was a magnificent book, It had a beautiful story line, It was wellwritten. The Charm Necklace was a book that once you picked up, you couldn't put it down, I laughed and I cried, The book takes you through a tragedy that makes a person either grow or lay down in defeat, The characters chose to stand up and fight, That is what grief does to you, That is what happiness does to you,

"Death comes so suddenly, out of nowhere, In the morning, you wake up in the arms of the one you love, that night you go to bed all by yourself.
You remain in a state of shock asking yourself questions like 'Did that really happen Is he really dead He can't possibly be dead, can he' And you reassure yourself with statements like 'He's just away on a business trip,' or 'Just another late night at the office, that's all.
' "

There isn't much more I can say about this book except to recommend you read it and to give it as many as I can.
I hope this author is around for a long, long time,

"During this time, you see friends and longlost relatives you hadn't seen since you were a child, and it hits you that nothing really matters: not those five extra pounds you were trying to lose, the back porch you've been meaning to repaint, that new show you forgot to record, those new designer shoes you've been lusting for.
How could any of it matter in the face of death You're faced with

the feeling that your life, your work, all your accomplishments are obsolete and meaningless when seen in the finality of death.
All those things can't save you from it, "

Once you finish reading the book, the author invites you to her website for a final chapter that you won't want to miss.


"I'm still upset that you were taken away from, but it's no longer the livingbreathing kind of hate that eats away at you.
It's the kind of anger that just wishes you could still be here, I can see now that your death was an accident, No one meant for it to happen, "

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, sitelinkwww. mylifeonestoryatatime. com A very solid debut, There is a lot of character in the plot, the sadness did seem to dominate the beginning, So glad that Skylar was the star and narrator, She was with Michael foryears and they were to be married in June, Michael was a good guy, Rob and Sue, Michael's parents, made a decision that caused me a lot of angst, I really liked how Sophie, who was Michael's sister was close with Skylar, The relationships and family were pretty strong, which made you really want to take the pain away, It was a trying time and the author took me through the grief she felt, Her job as an admin in the police department was sort of cool too, I liked how her relationships there changed because of her grief, Overall a really good read,

For the not so good, in my opinion, the cover, I am not one to point things out but, . . there is a but I have seen so many authors make this mistake and then rework a cover, To me it doesnt scream emotional romance, While the girl on the cover is ok, she doesnt seem even old enough to be Skylar, Like a lot of other bloggers will say that yes people do judge a book by a cover and this is a failing grade.
People will find it hard to get past the cover to the really hearty and emotional book that this is.
"Whether by choice or not, being left hurt like hell, burned like something you've never felt before, "

Skylar Medina has never asked for much just to marry the man she loves and create the family she's always dreamed of with him.
But when Michael is killed in a car accident, she becomes consumed with rage and despair, In the year following Michael's death, Skylar must face her cruel and unbarring reality, As she navigates her feelings, her destructive tendencies, and the web of complicated relationships with friends and family, she finds guidance in places she'd never expect.

Will Skylar have the strength to let love in again Or will she let anger and grief destroy her


This book contains some sailorworthy language, sexy scenes, and deals with the darker sides of death, grief, beliefs, love, and anger.
I received this book from a goodreads giveaway,

If I could, I would have given this book,stars. I liked the book more than I expected to, as this is not a book that I would typically read.
I did struggle a bit to find a connection to the main character, but the plot moved along enough to keep me interested.
At times the writing was very, very good, at other times, it felt forced and mediocre, I also thought there were times when too many extraneous details were given that didn't enhance the story or develop the characters.


It's a sad topic to write about and it was nice to see the story didn't hold back and hit on what I imagine are many of the very difficult parts that a person would struggle with after losing a loved one.
Great start for a debut novel and I would look forward to seeing something else by this author, Writer of things, mostly books, including The Things We Keep, Running to Stand Still, The Longest Way Down, and Red Wolf Rising.
