JENA’S REVIEW
The Last Charm by Ella Allbright
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A moving and heartwarming love story awaits readers who enjoy coming-of-age love stories mixed with plenty of hugs and tears. Yes, in some ways this book is too much- too much tear-jerking of the heart strings- but why not? Why not escape to Dorset, England and savor the story of two broken people who come together because of a charm bracelet?
Leila and Jake meet when they are about 11 and 13 and both are facing difficult, cruel times in their lives. Although they go their separate ways for many years, off and on they reconnect. Leila doesn’t know who is sending her charms for her charm bracelet, pretty little tokens that celebrate the memorable times of her life. The charms comfort Leila. But are charms enough to overcome the sadness and struggles of her life?
In addition to Leila and Jake, there are many other wonderful characters to read about. All are well-drawn and for the most part, a mix of good and flawed. Leila’s Granddad and father do their best, as does Jake’s mother. Leila and Jake have colorful friends and they all share some lovely times together. The vivid descriptions of the setting are a highlight of this story- featuring Dorset, with many a visit to the iconic Durdle Door.
Tears and tragedy mix with happiness and hope in this young adult love story. What is special about the last charm? Thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins Publishers for an advance review copy. This is my honest review.
