Description

Margot DeWitt had it all—a gorgeous home, a lucrative career, and the love of her sweet, handsome husband, a renowned heart surgeon. When everything she’s taken for granted as a solid foundation in her life is destroyed in a single instant, Margot comes undone. Nearly a year later, although her physical wounds have healed, Margot’s heart is still broken. She is a ghost, mired in grief, questioning the purpose of her life.


Chase Goodwin owns the tattoo shop next door to the bar Margot has begun to frequent. After their volatile introduction, Chase and Margot embark on a tenuous working relationship. Intuitively, Chase understands Margot’s fragility, for he’s experienced a devastating loss of his own. As their relationship deepens, Margot slowly begins to reclaim her identity as a creative, strong, resilient woman.


When Margot is ultimately confronted by the full extent of her loss, something she has subconsciously buried in order to protect her own sanity, she faces her hardest test yet. Can Margot honor her lost loved ones by embracing her own survival or will her heart remain paralyzed, bound to her past?

A beautiful heart-wrenching story that ultimately left me full of hope and gratitude. I loved Margot and felt her pain. I’ve never read anything by this author but I am looking forward to seeing what else is out there

A beautiful heart-wrenching story lyrically written. The Beauty of Fragile Things reminds us of exactly that. Emma Hartley has a strong sense of who the characters need to be for their fans.

Almost every person reading this novel will idenitify. We have almost all of us faced devastating challenges, loss of love, life and ambition. Going from happy and full filled to sad and empty. Even though this is fiction, Ms Hartley has written this story with empathy around events that can happen to any of us. The growth and rebuilding of this woman's confidence and sense of self is such a resounding message to anyone who has lost and needs to rebuild their life.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing this copy.. The review is my own personal opinion.
