![]() The main characters are a lazy narcissist, a co-dependent single mom, and a six year-old who sees angels. ![]() I wouldn't classify this story as warm-hearted, and I struggle to find the redemption. It's praised as "a warm-hearted story of mistaken identity and unlikely redemption". This is the first novel I've read by Downs. ![]() It’s an intriguing spin on the typical angel novels out there-and it doesn’t hurt that there’s a fair bit of humor sprinkled throughout. It wasn’t my FAVORITE Tim Downs book, but it was still good. Can’t really think of anything, honestly. Tim Downs has a great sense of humor and pacing! This book didn’t draw any hard and fast conclusions, but rather, it encourages us to consider whether we’re WILLING to believe something outside our normal paradigm. Especially Leah, a little girl who claims to *actually* see angels, and Emmett, the kindly hospital janitor. Don’t worry, there were good people to cheer for instead. Like I said, it’s interesting to read from the bad guy’s POV. And then he plans to turn her “angelic visit” into a bestselling book. The antagonist in question is Kemp McAvoy, an utter scumbag who schemes to manufacture an angelic experience by manipulating a famous actress who’s in an induced coma. ![]() ![]() You don’t often read a story told from the antagonist’s perspective. ![]()
