Review

I received an dARC copy of this book from the publisher. Here is my honest review.

I remember when my mother gave me her charm bracelet as a teenager. It is a piece that I treasure. Every bracelet is unique and I am always fascinated to hear the reasons why a particular charm adorns a bracelet. Due to this fascination, I was pulled in right away by the title The Last Charm and eagerly requested a copy for review.

The cover is simple but gave me a simple, comtemporary, rom-com vibe. I expected to like it.

This book is so much more. It's simple in that it explores the life of Leila and the major events that have shaped her. And while there are funny moments, this is no light-hearted rom-com. It is a delve into the big and small things that shape our choices and our character. It examines relationship and the impact it has on our lives. It is full of devotion, selfishness, love and hope.
I didn't like this book - I LOVED this book.

I don't want to give away any of the story - it was such an enjoyable read - even the hard parts were handled so beautifully - I kept waiting to see what the next charm was going to be.

Read this book.
