Not. Long. Enough.While it was a little tricky to be in Angela's POV (mostly because I'm so used to the "I"s being Clara and not the "she"s), I really liked that we got to see it. It was different seeing things from Angela, because we got to learn more about her as a character. How alone she was not knowing any other angel and learning everything for herself.And that girl has some secrets. I completely understand where Clara is coming from when she states that Angela expects Clara to share everything, and gets pissed when she doesn't, but Angela is allowed to keep secrets. Wasn't her second rule of Angel Club "no secrets?"Anyway, this story is much more Angela-centered than Clara-centered, which was nice as well. And when we find out whom Angela's Italian boyfriend is... WHOA! Talk about a dropped bomb. I can see why Clara would be so upset.But the end, oh goodness. Clara leaves us with an ominous and foreboding line. I turned that page and uttered a sign of frustration when I realized it was the end of the book. Not cool, Cythina. Not cool.Bottom LineYou don't HAVE to read this book to keep up with the series, but I highly recommend doing so. I have yet to read Boundless, but I feel like knowing this "side story" will be very insightful for the final installment of this series. Besides, it's 100-pages and I took me about 45 minutes to read it.
