Publisher's Summary:
We all want to be remembered. Charlotte's destiny is to be forgotten.
Charlotte's best friend thinks Charlotte might be psychic. Her boyfriend thinks she's cheating on him. But Charlotte knows what's really wrong: She is one of the Forgotten, a kind of angel on earth who feels the Need - a powerful, uncontrollable draw to help someone, usually a stranger.
But Charlotte never wanted this responsibility. What she wants is to help her best friend, whose life is spiraling out of control. She wants to lie in her boyfriend's arms forever. But as the Need grows stronger, it begins to take a dangerous toll on Charlotte. And who she was, is, and will become - her mark on this earth, her very existence - is in jeopardy of disappearing completely.
Charlotte will be forced to choose: Should she embrace her fate as a Forgotten, a fate that promises to rip her from the lives of those she loves forever? Or is she willing to fight against her destiny - no matter how dark the consequences?

Needed More
What would have made A Need So Beautiful better?
She began the love story in the middle and gave no real situations showing why they are together. The best friend is ludicrous, we don't feel any connection between the main character and the step brother & sister. The doctor's role was a tad more defined.
What could Suzanne Young have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
The book was a marginally satisfying read.
What three words best describe Hannah Smiths performance?
Breathy, urgent, sufficient
What character would you cut from A Need So Beautiful?
The best friend is ridiculous. The author probably wanted her to seem quirky and charming, but she comes across as arrogant, void, and idiotic. I wonder why they are friends.
Any additional comments?
Overall, not great, but filled the time. Was sympathetic to the main character's plight and the overall idea of an angel's transformation was interesting.
A Need for a Different Narrator
I listened to this story based on my enjoyment of The Program. The storyline was interesting but I had trouble listening because I really disliked the narrator. Two of the characters have accents and the reader did a poor job with them which grated on my nerves. Not my favorite book, but it could have been so much better with a better narrator.
Intense,dark plot
What made the experience of listening to A Need So Beautiful the most enjoyable?
maybe the narration was good and the plot was simple yet so intense it drew me in
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Need So Beautiful?
there in none unfortunately beacuse the love interest in the book didn't get to my heart LOL
What does Hannah Smith bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
the accent the Sarah the best friend uses when she is annoyed , she sounds like a really annoyed teenager
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
nope
Any additional comments?
the book is good but it wasn't as enjoyable as other angels book .. but it's good and recommend that you read it
Angelic Writing
I was bored to death of angels. So much so that I've been deliberately avoiding any titles pertaining to them. However, I was drawn to A Need So Beautiful despite the blurb I'm glad that I was! I really enjoyed this audiobook.
Charlotte was a great character who I both loved and hated at times.
