A Need So Beautiful is one of the best YA books I have ever read. Asking me to explain why apparently turns my brain to mush and nothing coherent will follow. However I must try to explain my utter love for this book so that you dear reader can experience it for yourself.The plot isn't unique, it is the formula that works on me. Boy, girl, wise guiding old person. However the supernatural element is completely unique. Charlotte is a Forgotten. She feels a pull towards people to help them and each time she helps she is losing a part of her self. The ultimate sacrifice is that she will die, but Charlotte doesn't want to die so she may have to align herself with the beautiful woman in her dreams who promises her immortality on earth.
The writing is sweet and sticky. You cling to the words long after you finish reading the story. The love story is beautiful, the best friend's story is tragic, Charlotte is smart and funny and a reluctant hero all in one. I really can't explain how emotionally stirring the book is, so you will just have to try it for yourself when it comes out on the 21st.
All I can say coherently is that I loved A NEED SO BEAUTIFUL and am dying to read A WANT SO WICKED.
