So when the back of this book mentioned an angel, I thought this would be a person who guided the main character through her life - not an angel with wings and shrouded in light! So being a realist, I found this a bit unbelievable. Since I was half way through the book when this was revealed, I wanted to find out what happened to Lisa, so I did persevere.

It turned out to be an enjoyable book with a happy ending.

A real tearjerker. Been crying my heart out especially at the end. This book made me look back into my own history.. What I have done and could have done.. It made me think of other people's perspective.. I enjoyed reading it from start to end. I definitely recommend this! A must read..
