⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Stars

In Beautiful Broken Love, Shanora Williams crafts an emotional page-turner about two people seeking solace and strength in each other after devastating losses.

This novel is a well written exploration of grief, healing, and the possibility of new beginnings.

Davina Klein-Roberts has spent seven agonising months grappling with the death of her husband, Lew. Her soulmate’s tragic death left her shattered and unsure how to move forward. To cope with her grief, Davina immerses herself in her work, driving her skincare line, Golden Oil Co., to viral success. A major endorsement deal is on the horizon, but it's bittersweet without Lew by her side.

Enter Deke Bishop, a charismatic NBA star who Davina hopes will endorse her brand. With his dimpled smile and warm demeanour, Deke leaves Davina both flustered and intrigued.

As she gets to know him, she discovers that Deke is not just another player; he carries his own burden of pain. As their connection deepens, Davina is torn between the guilt of moving on from Lew and the budding hope of a new future with Deke.


What I Liked:

* Deep Emotional Exploration: The book delves deeply into Davina’s grief and healing process, making her journey feel authentic and relatable. The traumas written in such a way that you cannot help but feel empathic towards her burdens and past.

* Complex Characters: Both Davina and Deke are well-developed characters with rich backstories and emotional depth. Their personal struggles and growth make their connection compelling and heart wrenching.

* Character Development: Davina’s evolution from a woman paralysed by grief to someone open to new possibilities is beautifully portrayed. I loved her character development, this was beautiful written and detailed.

* Realistic Romance: The romance between Davina and Deke unfolds naturally, capturing the complexities of moving on after a profound loss. It was realistic, and this is what I loved.

* Supportive Relationships: The book highlights the importance of supportive friendships and how they can help in the healing process. You can never heal on your own, and I loved that this message was in this story,

* Engaging Plot: The story is a perfect blend of heartache, hope, and healing, keeping readers invested from start to finish. I was so engaged, that I read this in one sitting.

Beautiful Broken Love is a heart-wrenching yet hopeful story that reminds us that even in the darkest times, there is a possibility of finding love and happiness again.
