Molly CL  | 5 comments Man is too kind, so kind others around him hate him, there was a female character, but not a romance
Plot twist at end reveals things are not as they seem due to mildly supernatural elements (see spoiler at end)
Book leaves one emotional/sad

Book was read 2-4 years ago, but no idea of publish date
Set on earth, but unknown if our earth or alternate earth, possibly United States/Western world
Title was short, one to a few words
Author believed to have a traditionally-male name (unsure of gender)
Believe book to have been published in English, but not positive
Book not part of a series: standalone

SPOILER:
At the end it's revealed that either the man (main character) is an angel or is surrounded by angels, but not set in heaven or the like, set on earth

NOTE: My 16yo niece is searching for this book. My sister, her mom, who passed away last year told her about it; she's desperate to find it and I'm desperate to help her.

Molly, is this book written for adults or teens?

How is the man too kind to others?

Main characters' jobs?

I removed the reference to the twist ending in the topic header - and added a spoiler alert.

Molly CL  | 5 comments Kris, I wish I knew. It’s my sister who read it. She didn’t read much YA, but read some, so it’s possible it was YA, but not likely. The kindness part: not sure, but I think in deeds. No idea about jobs.

Did your sister read books in other languages? It might help to know any other languages it could have been written in.


message 5: by Molly CL (new)

Molly CL  | 5 comments No, if it was originally written in another language it would’ve been translated to English. She read no other languages.
