A Need So Beautiful by Suzanne Young

Review: http://theliteraturelion.blogspot.com/2011/09/need-so-beautiful-by-suzanne-young.html
Charlotte is continuously being haunted by a feeling that she can't seem to make disappear. She calls it the Need. When the feeling hits, she gets a sudden urge to help someone specifically. She pushes this Need away, as she wants to live her own life, with her amazing bad-boy boyfriend Harlin and best friend Sarah, who's determined to embarrass her rich father.
I really enjoyed reading this from Charlotte's point of view. From the outside she's a typical girl with a great boyfriend but with a rough childhood. On the inside, she's golden, (literally.) She's caring, protective and as an intense love for her boyfriend Harlin. I think Charlotte and Harlin are perfect for each other. Harlin is just as protective of Charlotte as he would be off a baby bird, and he's just so sweet to her. Yet he's got that bad-boy image that just makes readers swoon.
I think Monroe was another one of my favorite characters in this. He's a big impact in Charlotte's life, as he's a form of protector of Charlotte but he's still a fatherly figure to her. At some points, Charlotte felt that Monroe was betraying her and being by her all the time for the wrong reasons, but in the end those feelings got patched up a little more, so now Monroe is back on track as Charlotte's 'dad.'
The plot was very interesting, and definitely different! I've only read a couple other angel books, and this one would have to go near the top of angel favorites. I really enjoyed how the plot was fast-apced and exciting, yet you got some down-time and were able to enjoy other aspects of Charlotte's life, such as her foster family's life, her romance with Harlin, and her best friend's troubled family.
Overall, this book was very good, but I wouldn't consider it one of my favorites. It didn't exactly have a great spark that made me want to sit down and read this. I actually read a chapter or two, and then set the book down for a half an hour. It was definitely an easy read, and very good otherwise! I'll definitely be reading the sequel!
