The Last Charm by Nikki Moore, Ella Allbright
4.0
The Last Charm has a unique timeline as it moves through the story with special dates and charms on a charm bracelet. This is not just a love story, but also a story of friendship, family, and personal growth through life experiences and hardships. There are some sad elements like abandonment, abuse, and grief in TLC. I’m not usually a fan of emotional/sad books. I prefer funny romcoms. I didn’t like the ending of this book, but overall, I enjoyed discussing it with the book club.
Jake is a sweetheart who never gives up on being a true friend to Leila. From the beginning and especially as he matured, it was obvious that Jake is a good man. Leila, on the other hand, is very immature. This is a direct quote from the book that explains their love story in a nutshell- “He loves her but she needs to grow up.” Although Leila was frustrating, I think reading about a broken heroine causes us to take time to empathize with a character who has experienced realistic pain. There are some beautiful lines that highlight our human flaws and the results of being hurt. There are stark difference in how the main characters choose to move forward and what they believe of themselves as a result of their painful experiences.
