Angels Watching Over Me

"Let's see...I sorta kinda forgot to write this review so we'll see what I can recall. Had I read this book when I was 8 or 9 or so, I probably would have loved this book. I'm not sure exactly what age group this book and others by this author are aimed for but everything was so simple, it seemed geared towards young preteens or so. Examples of why it seemed that way? First of all, the writing is very simple and not meant for someone with an extensive vocabulary who likes to learn big words. It's very much 'See Jane run' and although I say that, it's not meant to be offensive to the author or anyone; there's nothing wrong with it, I just have a hard time with books that are really 'easy' reads and not challenging. Another reason, the main character although she's 16 or so (If I remember right), she acts really young and sort of inexperienced (especially for talking like she'd done SO much with all the friends she had and such). I found her to be quite annoying as she'd say how she wanted to go home from the hospital, yet was too lonely at home. Oxymoron much? And that was explained every other chapter or so. The other characters were...ehh...okay I suppose. I found most of them to be a bit cliché. The little crush/romance aspect is a prime example of that. 'Star-crossed' lovers, hate each other at first (well, fight anyways), then fall in love anyways and find a way to be together despite the things keeping them apart. The angel things was to be expected and predictable, due to the title, and how MC, Leah, was all wondering and questioning faith and angels after the roommate girl told her the story. The storyline was kinda boring, even with the 'mystery' of the angel and question of whether Leah would survive or not. I just didn't find it to be captivating, and this sort of story usually isn't to me (predictable :p). So overall, I wasn't too impressed by this book(if at all) but I suppose I'll give the author another chance since her books do look good and some are newer than this one."
