Lovely by Beth Michele was such a truly beautiful story.  It's the story of two people who have more in common then they ever realize.  Both are in need of something each one can offer.  I fell in love with Ash and Cara.  They were so wonderfully in tune with each other.  I enjoyed being taken with one of my firsts love of Poetry.  This book spoke to my soul and it told me that love can heal anything as long as you give it your all.In the beginning of Lovely we meet Ash everything in his life has been pretty perfect until his father dies.  Then everything changes.  He can no longer be care free and follow his dreams.  He needs to be there for his family.  One thing that means everything to him is his mother, sister, and brother.  He is just going through the motions.  Then one day sitting in the library he sees her.  Cara Hayward is not the typical girl.  She is so much more.  Cara hides behind her big glasses.  She is hiding from her past.  Ash isn't someone she thought would ever even notice her.  No one sees her and that is exactly the way she wants it.  As he breaks down her walls she becomes enamored with him.  He cares for her and is willing to do anything to show her how sincere he can be.  Will all their combined heartache forge a future?  Or will it be that be the very thing that tears them apart?This is one emotional story.  Tissues are a guaranteed staple while reading.  This book will make you feel.  I mean really feel.  If you are a lover of poetry like me it may even mean more to you.  The way that Ash and Cara connected with poetry was amazing.  Absolutely my favorite part of the book.  There were so many great moments between Ash and Cara.  They had a unique passion and when they were together it was off the charts.  Ash definitely finds himself with the help from Cara.  They never knew how happy they could be until they found one another.  All the bad didn't matter anymore.  There was so much good when they were together that all the other stuff disappeared.Beth Michele has wrote something really good.  I thought the male pov was right on.  Exactly what I wanted to see from Ash.  He was honest with himself and I liked that about him.  It was really fun being in his head.  Cara on the other hand wasn't at all what I expected.  She was a totally different person when she took of her glasses.  The walls she built crumbled and she was a women that any man would want to be with.  I loved her tenacity, wisdom, and generosity.My only complaint is that this book is a stand alone.  I want more from Ash and Cara.  I want to see all the poetry that they can create together with being so happy, and in love.  I just want to see them.  This book will make you laugh, cry, and be so very excited about.  A definite must read from me.
