I downloaded this free book due to all the reviews being 5 star, even though there were only 7 reviews.  I was excited at the idea of reading a YA novel as good as this one was reported to be.  It just wasn't there, at least not for me.  I tried, I really did.  I read other books in between my attempts at finishing this one.  Every time I picked this up, it was the same.  An incredibly self absorbed and hard to like girl is so focused on herself and which beau she wants that she sees and thinks of little else.  I got half way through and gave up.  I read the last chapter before putting it down for good and found the end predictable and, frankly, boring -- not to mention the fact that nothing was mentioned in the last chapter that could be called "new" information or events since the middle of the book.  The characters are one dimensional and flat.  The angel offers no special wisdom and lacks any charisma or special wisdom whatsoever. Frankly, I think it might have made a fabulous novella or short story -- condensing the "action", making the characters more intense thereby keeping a reader interested -- as opposed to page after page of reading the petty thoughts of a one dimensional girl.  One incident that made no sense -- she gets furious at her date and (like me) even she had no idea why. Anyway, for those interested, it's pretty much "PG" and very little violence (keeping in mind I read only halfway through and the last chapter). It is possible that I may read something else in the future by this author because she is not without talent.
