review 1: Cute and fun -- even though I couldn't get behind the idea that this story was supposedly being told through a teenager's journal, I did enjoy her rather irreverent, believably immature but not too ditzy POV. Thankfully not preachy -- angels are treated much as any other "paranormal" creature would be in books of the same genre/caliber (that is, they have mysterious plot-propelling rules/abilities, but there a plenty of loopholes or plot holes to go around). I had the pleasure of meeting the author very briefly at TxLA this year, too!
review 2: I picked this up recently as a Kindle Daily Deal. It's a sweet little book and funny, but it doesn't have too much depth. The mystery is both easy to solve and a tad far-fetched, but the loving relationship between the s... moreiblings is a saving grace, and I like how everything does not end up neatly tied up (the last 6 years have realistic consequences). I probably would have enjoyed it more if I were the intended age group. less
