If you're looking for a heartwarming story about a girl who falls deeply in love with a troubled boy who changes her life--a sob story with pretty metaphors and a million ways that'll tell you how "broken" she is, STOP. Don't read another word of this.
I'm not that type of girl.
My name is Emerald Anderson and I'm not going to bullshit you: I flunked out of college after my sophomore year, I've been fired from every job I've ever taken, and I've never had a fully functioning relationship in my life.
I wish I could say that I had a cheerleader in my corner, someone who says, "No, Emerald--You're great and you are good at something!" but I don't. My grandparents are completely oblivious to my life, and my mother's dying words to me were "You're going to end up just like me one day. A beautiful nothing."
She was right.
As I decide to start my life over and take two jobs that will forever change me--one from the inside, and one from the outside, I keep my mother's words close to my heart so I can keep the sexy and mysterious Carter Black away.
He's the first man who's ever pursued me, the first man who seems bent on finding out why I am the way I am, but he's wasting his time.
I'm not broken. I don't need to be fixed. I'm perfectly fine being a beautiful failure...

Review:
Whoa. That's the only word I can think of to describe this book. Is this really Mariah Cole's debut book?? There is no way! If you like a book that is dark, twisted, and that sucks you in on the first line then this book is for you!
Emerald Anderson's mother is a whore, and she learned everything she knows from her. How to drink, how to be a queen bee bitch, how to get anything you want with just your looks, and how to shut everybody out. Her life is falling apart and she feels like huge failure....that is until she meets Carter. Carter is perfect, but in a realistic way. He almost has to force his way into Emerald's life because she is determined not to let anyone know anything about her. He isn't going to let her bitchiness get in his way. Right about the time you are yelling "Shut up Emerald!! Don't mess this up!!!" you realize Mr. Perfect might be hiding something about himself and you are dying to know what it is!
This was a phenomenal book. Not your typical love story, which I found very refreshing, and Emerald is definitely not your typical leading lady. She is such a bitch, but I have fallen in love with her life story. The ending was very unexpected and took my breath away. When is book 2 coming? I need it now!!!! ~Anita~
