This is the story of Leila and her charm bracelet that her mother left for her when she left Leila and her husband to run away. Leila struggles, but is helped by a young, troubled boy who lives in her road, Jake. The story is told in flashbacks, with each episode relating to one of the new charms that Leila receives at important times in her life. Initially I struggled with the way these flashbacks were written, however persevered as the story started coming together with the angry young girl growing up. The relationship between her and Jake was never straightforward and I times I couldn't understand her actions, but he keeps coming back into her life and helping where he can. With both highs and lows tugging at my emotions ultimately this is a story set over decades with love, hope and despair running through to the present day when the final outcome becomes clear.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity of reading an advance copy of this book, however this did not influence my review of the book.

I absolutely loved the way this story was told and how it unfolded!
It is the journey of Leila. She is angry and fearful of relationships.
It is not easy to trust when someone you love suddenly leaves you and you are only eleven or even when you are older!
However, Leila has her "Charm Bracelet". This is the connection that will always make her feel as though "someone" cares and is watching over her.
When her bracelet is lost, the need to identify and hopefully find this "dear" piece, is told as this novel!
It is a beautiful, heartbreaking, love story of friendship, family, heart and trust.
There is no doubt that tissue's are needed many times throughout the pages!
I truly adored this book! Well done!

With thanks to netgalley and Ella Allbright for an arc in return for an honest review.
My first time reading this Author what an utterly beautifully intriguing book.
Lots of tissue were used in the reading of this very poignant story it's a rollercoaster of love and lose and trying to get the right balance at times the charms are totally exquisite this really is a fabulously warm comforting book and I can highly recommend to all.

First of all I have to thank Netgalley for allowing me a chance to read this book for my honest review.

I started this book yesterday and I have just finished. I could not put it down.
The story started off intriguingly and pulled me straight in. From the start I instantly felt for Jake and his mum, could sense his anger and hurt.
Leila was also a wonderful character who at times I wanted to shake and tell her to open her eyes!
This book takes you on a beautiful, heartfelt, sad and happy journey through a lifetime of love.
I fell in love with the characters and loved the bond of friendship between Leila and her girlfriends.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and I am eager to read more from this author.

This love story was cute and heartwarming. This story will make you smile. A cute contemporary read.
