Beautiful, Fragile by Michelle Montebello was an unexpected read. Tough it could be classified as a romance; it was so much more. It was a story about second chances, love, family and finding your way. Faith and Will have been married for years and have three beautiful children. Everything seems perfect on the outside but looks can be deceiving.
Why does Faith find herself on an Italian beach, injured and with no memories of the last ten years? Those years include falling in love with her ...more

What a beautifully told story, from the first to the very last page. How I loved the writing of Michelle Montebello, who has written a story of immense struggle and pain, family, love and a second chance when you might think all is lost. This story really touched my heart.
Reading the character of Faith was just so sad with what had happened to her, I felt her pain, her despair and also her fear of meeting her husband and children who she cannot even remember. This woman was strong and ...more

Beautiful, Fragile
Beautiful, Fragile is an exquisitely-told story of hope, and another brilliant novel from the very talented Ms Montebello.
This is a story that explores the intricacies of family, the complexities of marriage and the beauty of our memories. It reminds us to treat them all with love and care because everything could change in the blink of an eye, as it did for Faith.
Be prepared to laugh and cry all at the same time as the author deftly carries you from one extreme to the other. ...more

Beautiful, Fragile is simply beautiful! This book is a stark reminder of how life can change in an instant, and how deep the bonds of love run.
My heart broke for Faith and what she went through. And while I at first didn't like Will, I began to see him in a different light. He was desperately trying to hold his family together (and no small feat, with three children) when his wife had no memory of the life they shared. There is a rollercoaster of emotions in this book, Will and Faith's struggle ...more

Oh this book. Where to start? When I read the blurb I knew this was going to be one of those books that really tears away at you!
Faith wakes up in hospital, in a foreign country with no recollection of how she got there.
And when her husband, who she has no recollection of comes for her she’s so incredibly confused by how she ended up where she did.
Ok I’ll admit I thought Will was cold at first, but oh my I like Faith began to fall in love with him. This story was so beautiful watching Faith ...more

This is the first book by Michelle I have read and I really enjoyed it. It had me hooked right from the start. I felt for Faith and Will. Faith wakes in the hospital in a small town in Spain and can’t remember the last ten years. She has forgotten her husband and children. She can’t remember why she was even in Spain. This book gave me the feels so hard. Faith must decide if remembering everything is worth the pain it may cause. This book is moving and a great read. I look forward to reading

An exquisite read right to the end! This was a beautifully told story of love, hurt, hope and second chances. I literally wanted to wrap my arms around this family and protect them. My favorite book of the year, without a doubt. Thank you Michelle Montebello. Wow! Just wow!
Beautiful, Fragile
Imagine waking up in a hospital bed, in a foreign Country and having no recollection how you ended up there or anything from the past 10 years. Imagine learning you have a Husband and three kids and trying to reconcile with it all. This is the Journey that Michelle Montebello takes us on. Wonderfully written, I found this book very hard to put down and read it in nearly one sitting. Highly recommend Beautiful, Fragile. ...more
