It's ;pretty amazing when an author can bring you back to another time in your life. I love reading books about angels, and the fact that this one is unique is intriguing to me. I love when an author takes a unique twist on something where everyone else follows more of a formula.<br /><br />Lindy@ A Bookish EscapeLindy Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037195934272974300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-78152964897982159252013-07-30T15:51:11.260-07:002013-07-30T15:51:11.260-07:00I really like the sound of this one.

I'm certainly going to be adding this one as well, and I think I will have both my daughters read it as well. You're right about it being important for teens to see (read) teens being faced with decisions and how they go about them...whether they choose wisely or not.

I still deal with insecurities and doubts as I'vee just finished my 2nd year in college and I have my thoughts and feelings from my HS years freshly in my brain so I can see myself connecting to Summer easily. I don't think that every heroine should be the nerdy, shy girl so that's cool. I've found myself reading contemporary more often than not just as you so I'm glad that the paranormal aspect was easy to grasp and original to you. Thanks for introducing it to me:)Siirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265532869057616598noreply@blogger.com
