This book hit me unusually hard when I was reading it. At first, it struck me as annoying, because I figured it would be just another book about a girl who is trying to fit in with the popular crowd, but instead decides to make friends with someone less than popular. But, promised an interesting plot by the name and the summary on the cover, I read on. As it would turn out, the girl, Freya, has actually just gotten over a bit of an obsession with angels that started when she was 9 years old. So, her wanting to fit in is understood, if not enjoyed. The girl who she ends up befriending believes in angels, and she isn't afraid to say so, which makes her not so popular with the students at the school she goes to. Add in the fact that Freya is, in fact, half angel half human, and that it's her purpose to help others, it creates a really good plot. I think the best part of the book, however, was illustrating the world's pain so well. I think that Cliff McNash did excellently with that, and I hope that when others read this book that it will make them inspired to help others as I was. I give this story 4 stars, because although the plot was exceptional and the theme was tear-worthy, the story could have been written, I think, a bit better. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.
