Nothing makes me happier than when I am reading a book and I get more out of it than just a great story. Beth takes us on an emotional journey with such positive life lessons throughout, that you can’t help but come out of reading this book a new positive person; who vows to be every ounce of the strong, amazing woman you know you were meant to be.Now I know I usually talk about the main characters and how they affected me and the story, but I feel like I need to take a different approach with this review. How many times as women, have we heard “Beauty is only skin deep.” “You have to love yourself before you can love anyone else.” And “Strength comes from within.” We hear these motivational quotes but unless we are actually experiencing them first hand, we don’t really take the time to fully appreciate the power of their words or the true effect it could have on your life if you choose to live by them and really act on them. That, for me, is the true story behind Scarred Beautiful. Don’t get me wrong, there is a great love story here. The way Fran and Matt are together, and how they fix each other without realizing it. The way they are the strength and safety net for one another, to really want to better themselves and the back and forth banter between them, it’s a journey worth taking.However, the emotional journey to self discovery that Fran and Matt make separately, with the help of one another and the lessons they learned; that, to me, was the real story.Beth Michele hits the mark with this book of fate, hope, and love. I was honored to be able to take this journey and my hope is that you all take it as well. It’s not one to miss out on.
