From Goodreads. Charlotte’s best friend thinks Charlotte might be psychic. Her boyfriend thinks she’s cheating on him. But Charlotte knows what’s really wrong: She is one of the Forgotten, a kind of angel on earth, who feels the Need—a powerful, uncontrollable draw to help someone, usually a stranger.
There have been others before who’ve felt the Need, but they’re gone—erased from the memories of everyone whose lives they had touched. It's as though they never existed. This is the fate that awaits Charlotte. But the last thing Charlotte wants to do is disappear, to be Forgotten. She wants to stay with her best friend, whose life is spiraling out of control. She wants to lie in her boyfriend’s arms forever. She wishes she could just ignore the Need, but she can’t. And as everyone important in her life begins to slowly forget her, she has to decide if she’ll fight the Need in order to remain herself—no matter how dark the consequences.
Review by Kate
A NEED SO BEAUTIFUL, by Suzanne Young, is a brilliant story of a girl whose past is a mystery and her once normal idea of a future is anything but. Young created a fascinating story about understanding faith and fate.
Young throws the reader right into Charlotte's life and her increasingly insistent pull toward the Need. At any moment an overwhelming urge to go to someone takes over her body and fighting it makes the painful symptoms worse. I, along with Charlotte, was kept in the dark for some time about the reason for the Need. The feelings came more frequently, causing Charlotte to lie to her friends and family more often about what was going on in her life.
I loved Charlotte's friends and family. Young created dynamic and interesting characters that it made me extremely sad when they started to forget her like her Seer said they would. Charlotte and her best friend, Sarah, were an unlikley pair in coming from different socital classes, but their friendship went deeper than that.
Overall, fantastic and unique book that will keep you glued to the pages until the very end!
