I have really mixed feelings about this book. I thought the concept was really interesting and unique, but something in the execution was lacking. I can't really figure out what it is, but Until Next Time just didn't wow me.I found the story kind of confusing, especially with the way it jumped around and went back and forth between heaven and earth. Emily kept saying Matt was the one she was destined to be with, but she loved Jason and would always love him and they would be together again. Well, which was it? I still have no idea who she was really meant to be with. I never quite knew where the story was going, or what the purpose was in a lot of what was going on.I wasn't really able to connect with any of the characters, but I did find them all likable. I enjoyed the relationship between Liz and Faith - their loyalty to each other and their sisterly bond. Charles and Jason were an interesting, amusing addition, and for the most part the dialogue was believable and moved the story along nicely.There were parts that were action-filled and exciting. I especially enjoyed when the foursome went to Dublin and we were introduced to new characters, and we finally learned some of the secrets the story had been leading up to. That was definitely my favorite part, it just took a long time to get there, and it went back to being confusing after that.Overall, this book didn't blow me away. I enjoyed it, but I didn't love it. I spent too much time being confused and wondering what was going on and what the point was. There were a few exciting bits, but the parts that dragged outweighed the good parts. From my experience, people either love or hate angel books - I haven't read enough of them to make an informed decision, but if you really enjoy angel books, I'd say this one might be worth a try.
