Review from Sugar shack book blog.Did you ever finish a story and have a whole different perspective for life. Feel like you wanted to be as strong as the main character and conquer all?  Well that's how I felt after reading Sublime Wreckage.  I truly loved this story.  Charlene Zapata did a amazing job in telling a story so straight from the heart.Having a major tragedy in one spilt second you would think that would be enough for one person to experience in a lifetime.  But not for magnolia Pearl Wilson, she lives with a nightmare, literally a nightmare every day of her young life.  But for Magnolia, which she likes being called Maggie uses this as a way to push herself to have a better life.  This Maggie is one strong girl and I don't know how she became that way because I would of curled in the corner and never came out.  Maggie is an inspiration for all.  She goes through her everyday life with little friends, just her and her BFF Amanda, which is another character I loved in this story.  Having a supportative and trustworthy friend is what Maggie needs.  She doesn't need love from any boy to steer her in the wrong direction.  That was until Vincent Moreno stepped in her view."No, It's just called being resilient.  I think God gives us our strengths and for me its being able to endure anything.  I choose not to let these things destroy me but rather build me into the person I'm meant to be.  I wouldn't be who I am today if I hadn't gone through what I did. It's all a matter of perspective.  I decided a long time ago that I wouldn't let her break me.  I'm stronger than that."~ MaggieVincent Moreno has also experienced  tragedy in his life also.  Rumors go around about him being up to no good.  But those rumors are not from people who really know the sweet, hard working, smart guy that he truly is .  He's trying to build a good life for him and his family.These two are truly a match made in heaven!  As I'm reading every word on the page I am so glad that they met and feel everyone should have a Vincent in their life.  But with all the dysfunction in Maggie's life will Vincent be enough, will she let him in and is he the guy she never knew would find his way into her heart?  Is he her knight in shining Armor?"Magnolia, you have become someone important in my life.  I care about you.  If nothing else you have become one of my closest friends.  I will do anything I can to help you when you are in need.  You aren't alone in this world.  You will always have me.  Whatever I can do to make your life a little easier please let me do it.  That's all I ask from you .  When you are ready you can tell me the truth.  If you never feel ready, I understand.  But I hope that someday you can trust me enough to let me into every aspect of your life." ~VincentThis story sucked me right in that I had a hard time putting down, which let me say I read this in a 24 hr span. This was a five star for me.  The struggles these characters go through hit me so deep, awakening emotions from loss that I experienced in my own life.  A story that is so relatable and real, Charlene tells it with brilliance. I'm so happy she was inspired to write and wrote this beautiful story.  Thank you Charlene, I'm looking forward to reading more from you!
