Description
Charlotte is afraid of love and of life.
Her confidantes are a rubber duck and a diary she calls Rajah. She tiptoes on the edge of the love cliff, but to her, imaginary love life is safer than taking the plunge with a real one.
She dreams about men who remind her of her long lost love, Mason, yet when she bumps into him she panics and runs away.
Her heart crushed by a long-ago betrayal, Charlotte cannot find happiness unless she confronts the ghosts of her past and deals with the realities of the present.
This touching love story wends its way through the ups and downs of Charlotte's life as she tries to deal with her emotional problems and find a way to heal her broken heart.

I was hooked from the start with this book! The confident Charlotte and her signature red lipstick! But what you see on the outside isn’t always what’s in the inside!
Charlotte is anxious, afraid and not confident at all, her self worth is so low, but she hides it well, with the help of a bit of alcohol that she keeps hidden in her bag!
When Charlotte comes face to face with her childhood ex-boyfriend she realises that she still likes him, but circumstances keep them apart. She does, however, meet a handsome man who she is drawn to and he likes her, so they head out on a few dates.
One evening it all gets too much and Charlotte breaks down, luckily her friend Andrew rushes round and takes action to help her. She knows she needs help so let’s him in and learns some things about her friend.
It’s funny how life is full of twists, and Charlotte certainly drives down that road a lot, thankfully she has people on her side and one of them is about to make her world a better place to live in.
Meet Charlotte, a happy girl, with a nice job, a nice appartment, beautiful skin... And in love with love.
At first sight, she seems to have a great life, but when you get to know her a little bit (if she wants you to know her), you see that not everything is so great.
I loved the way in which the author gives the information bit by bit.
Although I don't personally agree with some definitions, and I think some illnesses shouldn't be treated lightly, not even in literature, I really enjoyed discovering how she reached rock bottom, only to emerge stronger.
I will be on the look for more books by Amy K. smith.
Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for my ACR of this book.
