Narrative Conducive To Books Don't Make Me Beautiful
Librarian Note: Alternate Cover Edition for ASIN: B00EZ5R78O.NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR, ELLE CASEY, brings readers the romantic suspense novel DON’T MAKE ME BEAUTIFUL.
This story was inspired by true events. If you liked the movie "Sleeping With the Enemy", then you might like this story too.
No one knew a woman lived there or that she even existed. A monster, living in darkness...
At twenty-two, Nicole doesn't even look human anymore. The beast made sure of that. So she hides. A monster, consigned to a life of fear and solitude. This is all she deserves, she is quite sure of that. And then one day out of the blue, the autographed baseball caught by Brian Jensen at the latest Marlins game enters her prison and manages to turn her world completely upside down.
Temptation comes in the form of pity at first, and then perhaps something more. Does she dare to believe the things she's told, that this is not the life she was meant to live? That being a monster is not her forever-fate? And will she be willing to risk everything, to reach out and accept the helping hands around her and share her deepest, darkest secrets? She knows only too well that hands can hurt. Finding out whether they can also heal is a risky proposition, especially when the beast is still out there. Looking for her.
Content warning: Violence, foul language, and adult situations. Not meant for younger readers.
A note from Elle about this book: A really long time ago, I read an article in a newspaper or a magazine (I haven’t been able to locate the original) about a woman who was so badly beaten over a long period of time, she couldn’t leave her house. I thought about that woman a lot over the years and about what her thoughts might have been, her fears, her reality … and this book was my attempt to both exorcise those thoughts from my brain and also shed some light on a subject —domestic violence— that I feel should never be left in darkness.

The switching of the chapters from Brian's life to Nicole's life was done very well. Offering some relief while serving to highlight the awfulness ofFor the last three years, Nicole has been violently abused by her boyfriend. She used to be a very beautiful girl, but after years of abuse her face has been so disfigured that she cant leave the house. The mental and physical abuse has made it impossible for her to leave, and even if she could have found the courage to try again, her boyfriend locks her in their home when hes not there so that theres no way out. Until a little boy hits his baseball through her window, and a Knight comes to her
DNF at around the 60% mark. Have read other Elle Casey's books and have enjoyed them. But this one fell a bit flat. Really liked the idea of the story and the story started out ok, but as it went on some of the characters actions, mainly the main male character Brian's felt a bit too unrealistic . I really liked the compassion he showed but a lot his actions were just too much/too convenient for under the circumstances. Also, I'm not the biggest fan of insta-love and that was the vibe I got in
That book hugely disappointed me. Domestic violence is an issue all of us should be sensitive about and when films are made or books are written about it, I appreciate the effort; that is why I read this book but it didnt make sense at all.Having grown up in a home where there was domestic violence, I have a pretty good idea what it feels like and many things in this book sounded so wrong to me.Before telling you my problems about this book, let me describe the severe condition of the abused
Just watched Me Before You, now i can't stop picturing MC as Emilia Clarke! <3Interesting title? Check.Mysterious cover? Check.On top of that this author's note!

*3.5 Stars*While I didn't end up falling in love with the delivery of this story, I respect its content and the brave messages it so strongly conveyed. Don't Make Me Beautiful centers on one woman's escape of an extremely brutal and heartbreaking case of domestic abuse. The beginning presents fairly gruesome events that, although potentially difficult for some to witness, are detrimental in communicating an honest representation of the abuse. Nicole is a woman who is trapped in a physically and
there's not enough stars/5 Lately I have been really judgmental towards new books, and I was worried that I would criticize this book as well. THANK GOD THAT WAS NOT THE CASEThis is the first book ever where I cried more than once. It's such an emotional read. I am so glad that I came across this book!!little beginning summary: Nicole is currently living with her abusive boyfriend. Not really one of those cliche book abusive bf, because not only was Nicole scarred on the inside, but on the
