Cacti & Succulents

Hi!,
So I just got my very first succulent, I believe its an Aeonium, and green leaves have been falling off and I really don't know what to do. Will they grow back? Should I get a new plant? I have the plant on my window sill and I don't think its been getting sunburned. thanks for your help!

Hi welcome to the wonderful world of succulents!
First of all, some pictures would be really helpful to identify any possible problems.

What kind of soil is your plant in? Are the leaves falling off by themselves? Are they the older leaves (at the bottom) or the new leaves? Any other discolorations? I would hold on to buying new plants until you figured out the best setting for succulents.

And Aeoniums are in dormancy now, so dropping leaves is ever so natural.
