If you're looking for a heartwarming story about a girl who falls deeply in love with a troubled boy who changes her life--a sob story with pretty metaphors and a million ways that'll tell you how "broken" she is, STOP. Don't read another word of this.

I'm not that type of girl.

My name is Emerald Anderson and I'm not going to bullshit you: I flunked out of college after my sophomore year, I've been fired from every job I've ever taken, and I've never had a fully functioning relationship in my life.

I wish I could say that I had a cheerleader in my corner, someone who says, "No, Emerald--You're great and you are good at something!" but I don't. My grandparents are completely oblivious to my life, and my mother's dying words to me were "You're going to end up just like me one day. A beautiful nothing."

She was right.

As I decide to start my life over and take two jobs that will forever change me--one from the inside, and one from the outside, I keep my mother's words close to my heart so I can keep the sexy and mysterious Carter Black away.

He's the first man who's ever pursued me, the first man who seems bent on finding out why I am the way I am, but he's wasting his time.

I'm not broken. I don't need to be fixed. I'm perfectly fine being a beautiful failure...

Broken That is what she is Broken. Beautiful and broken. But aren't we all in some way. Yeah, and we all want to blame our parents. But what if it really was your mother that messed you up? Meet Emerald, she was broken and the person that broke her was her mother. Can some one broken be fixed? Of course, but you have to wan to be fixed to begin with or find the person willing to take on the task. Okay so now meet Carter the fixer! This story is about finding yourself despite the cards that you have been dealt. Despite the way you perceive yourself on the inside but in spite of it. Learning that you are more that what you have been given and now you have to go out there and do it. But always, always remembering that you are not alone and that you are BEAUTIFUL both inside and out. I loved it. I felt it. I embraced it. I can't wait for the next chapter in Emerald and Carter's story. I give this book *6* Stars.
