If you're looking for a heartwarming story about a girl who falls deeply in love with a troubled boy who changes her life--a sob story with pretty metaphors and a million ways that'll tell you how "broken" she is, STOP. Don't read another word of this.

I'm not that type of girl.

My name is Emerald Anderson and I'm not going to bullshit you: I flunked out of college after my sophomore year, I've been fired from every job I've ever taken, and I've never had a fully functioning relationship in my life.

I wish I could say that I had a cheerleader in my corner, someone who says, "No, Emerald--You're great and you are good at something!" but I don't. My grandparents are completely oblivious to my life, and my mother's dying words to me were "You're going to end up just like me one day. A beautiful nothing."

She was right.

As I decide to start my life over and take two jobs that will forever change me--one from the inside, and one from the outside, I keep my mother's words close to my heart so I can keep the sexy and mysterious Carter Black away.

He's the first man who's ever pursued me, the first man who seems bent on finding out why I am the way I am, but he's wasting his time.

I'm not broken. I don't need to be fixed. I'm perfectly fine being a beautiful failure...

Wow! This book was amazing from beginning to end. It hooked me right from the prologue and it just kept getting better from there. Emerald Anderson has had a hell of a life. Her mother passed away when she was a teenager. She went to college but after an incident with her then boyfriend Parker and her roommate Amy, she flunks out of college. She ends up back with her grandparents and after a drunken night she finds herself attending mandatory rehab meeting. She can't hold down a job. She ends up working for little period at Starbucks. Carter is one of the customers. There is attraction between the two of them, They meet again when she takes a job at a strip club.
Emerald and Carter have a relationship. Carter is somewhat of a mystery. He breaks Emerald's walls down. The characters where easy to connect with and that made it a little bit of an emotional roller coaster. I feel like while we are reading we see Emerald grow up a little and come to turns with her life. Sometimes her decisions are not the best one and she does make a decision about her and Carter that was sad to read.
Beautiful Failure is a short, quick read. It will keep your attention the whole time. They are some really crazy scenes in this story. I couldn't put it down until I finished it. The ending was an expected cliffhanger. I can't wait to read more.
