Absolutely wonderful. She has a new fan!
Beautiful, Fragile by Michelle Montebello was an unexpected read. Tough it could be classified as a romance; it was so much more. It was a story about second chances, love, family and finding your way. Faith and Will have been married for years and have three beautiful children. Everything seems perfect on the outside but looks can be deceiving.
Why does Faith find herself on an Italian beach, injured and with no memories of the last ten years? Those years include falling in love with her husband and the three children they share. Now she is expected to go back to a life she does not remember with a man who does not seem to love her. What drove her to another country and why does she feel so out of place in the life that everyone tells her is hers?
The faith we meet is vulnerable and lost. We see her trying to acclimate to a live she never remembers. Will seems off and also a bit lost. What happened between them? But is this their second chance? But will getting her memory back change things? Beautiful, Fragile by Michelle Montebello was an emotional story that captivated me from start to finish.

Happy reading!
This is such a beautiful, moving and emotional story I loved it from page one, I loved getting to know Faith and Will and loved sharing their journey, a journey that is about opening up and re-learning a lot for Faith after she is found on a beach in Spain injured and missing ten years of her life, don’t miss this one, truly it is a must read.
Faith wakes up on a lonely beach in Spain, injured and very confused when she gets to the hospital she thinks she is from Sydney and twenty five years old, and it is 2009, it comes as a complete shock to discover it is 2019, with a brain injury and not knowing what has happened to her or why she is in Spain it is really hard on her, when she is told that her husband will be coming from London to pick her up and she learns that she has three children, this begins a very emotional and poignant journey.
When Will is told that his wife has been in an accident in Spain and needs to go to her, he struggles with feelings about what he will find when he gets there, Faith is in a hospital bed she does not know him or remember that they have three children, will she remember why she took off from their home to go to Spain, there are so many questions, will she ever get her memory back, it takes him a bit to realize that the future is what counts and that she is the woman he loves.
Faith has a hard time coping when they get home Will is wary of answering too many of her questions, but one thing is sure that Faith wants her memory back but Will thinks that some things should remain in the past as they find the love that bought them together when they first met. This is such a beautifully written story, MS Montebello has bought Faith and Will and their beautiful family to life on these pages, their talks under the stars are just gorgeous and she had me guessing at what had happened to Faith, I felt their pain, their heartbreak and their joy, there were tears and smile. This is a story that I highly recommend a journey about families love and life, I loved it thank you MS Montebello.
What a beautifully told story, from the first to the very last page. How I loved the writing of Michelle Montebello, who has written a story of immense struggle and pain, family, love and a second chance when you might think all is lost. This story really touched my heart.
Reading the character of Faith was just so sad with what had happened to her, I felt her pain, her despair and also her fear of meeting her husband and children who she cannot even remember. This woman was strong and determined. I hero-worshipped her in a way because everything she tried to do was scrutinised by everyone.
Will, her husband, I wasn’t too sure about at first but I cannot even begin to imagine the frustration he was going through trying to hold a job down and take care of three young children; all the while watching the wife he loves treat him like a stranger. The feelings whilst reading this story were indeed raw and painful at times, but Will was a rock, an amazing man with an abundance of patience that I admired greatly.
This story is a reminder of how life can change in just the blink of an eye. It revolves around the marriage vows, family, love and loss. It shows just how easy love can be snatched away, maybe forever to be lost.
This is a book full of different emotions that pulled me back and forth, with secrets to be told, tissues to be grabbed but also hope that filled my heart. A wonderful story not to be missed, one that I will remember for a long time to come.
