I got the Kindle edition of this book because it was being offered for free on Amazon and I found the title bizarre enough to make it worth a look. While the idea of 'guardian angel' rubbed me the wrong way (and still does, to be fair), I wanted to look past that and see whether the book would be a good one if the whole angel idea were removed. It was not, and my rating reflects the quality of the book independently of the whole guardian angel thing.
I'll start by pointing out the pros. A reasonable amount of the advice in the book is actually sensible and could be helpful for the right person. There aren't that many exaggerations and the language is largely palatable, if syrupy. It's ultimately a self-help book with some 'angels' thrown in for good measure and the odd scientific claim peppered in towards the end: the self-help portions could be there regardless of how the rest of the book is written and would be equally helpful.
Now for the cons. First, the book reeks of upper middle-class white American woman. It's probably written by one and addressed pretty much exclusively to one. Having an exclusive target demographic is fine, but the book emanates so much naivety that it becomes nauseating to read for anyone outside that demographic.
Second, though similarly important, the book is pretty tone deaf when it comes to children. I don't know if the author imagined (or actually tried) using the advice she gives on her own children, but most of it is cringeworthy and occasionally overbearing - particularly when she suggests passing her ideas on to friends of the child. Not only does this advice overstep some serious boundaries in parenting (such as parenting someone else's child), it targets one of the most vulnerable, impressionable groups in society - children. The chapter essentially suggests manipulating the children of other people into beliefs or behaviours that may not be shared or approved by their parents. That goes beyond acceptability for me.
That aside, the book shamelessly pushes the author's other products (angel cards and some sort of children's version of them), which becomes annoying after a while. I don't have an issue generally with an author advertising more of their work/products in a book, but I would rather have it as an addendum at the end or the start rather than being reminded to buy this and that extra thing throughout. It breaks the experience. It's annoying and sometimes patronizing.
Finally, the book is pretty iffy on the (admittedly small amount of) science it mentions. The author has a strange interpretation of neural plasticity which doesn't really have a place where it's mentioned.
All in all, while the self-help portions of the book might be helpful to its target audience (hence the two stars rather than a single one - there may be people out there who would genuinely benefit from its simplicity), the patronizing tone and ignorance towards parenting boundaries would make it a hard pass in my view - I would not pay money for something like this. Granted, I would probably not have paid for it to begin with and would have skipped it altogether had I not landed upon it for free.
