Review Detail

SO. FREAKING. GOOD.

What, you need more? Seriously, though. I was a bit wary of A Need So Beautiful by Suzanne Young – angels, right? Borrrring – except for a few (Unearthly! Mercy! etc). But Suzanne Young’s “angels” aka the Forgotten – seriously badass and original concept.

Most angel books have main characters that are supposed to be extraordinarily beautiful, jaw-dropping, etc – but Suzanne Young isn’t satisfied with that. No, in A Need So Beautiful, what is UNDER the skin (literally) is the extraordinarily beautiful bit about about Charlotte. And the concept of the Forgotten? It hurts my head and my heart.

I wish I could say I was enamored with Harlin, but I didn’t really fall head-over-heels for him. Also, I don’t understand HOW anyone could put up with Charlotte disappearing as much as she did with no explanation. I appreciated him though – through the eyes of Charlotte, but I don’t know I want him to come to life and be my boyfriend or anything. Although I have spent more time talking about him than anything else in this review, so I don’t know what that says.

But I certainly like Charlotte a lot, and I really empathized with her indecision about fulfilling her destiny or choosing the people she loved. Definitely broke my heart towards the end. Like, legit cried.

Overall – I LOVED A Need So Beautiful Suzanne Young singlehandedly renewed my faith in books about angels (haha no pun intended). Such an original and awesome concept and I loved the characters and I need to know what happens next like ASAP. You NEED (hah pun) to pick up this book. It’s a quick read and it really sucks you in.
