This book was not at all what I expected it to be. I was expecting a sweet and romantic chick-lit, but, although the characters were all sweet as can be and there was definitely love involved, the story somehow felt like it wasn't really about that. There seemed to be something else going on, a deeper meaning of some sorts. I found this to be quite beautiful and I think this is an interesting novel for sure.

A driving force of this story is Christianity, and, as an outspoken atheist like myself, you'd think this wouldn't really appeal. And normally it wouldn't, but for some reason, it didn't necessarily seem to matter what belief system was being followed; it was more about the morals and hope in life that was being portrayed. I could get behind that, and so I wasn't bothered or annoyed by it.

Jamie and Landon's story is without a doubt a sad one. I felt for them, I really did. The actual end should have been done a bit better though, as it didn't quite hit me as hard as it could have. There was something missing, maybe some depth, which actually could be said for some other parts of the story as well.

I really have to wonder at the very last line of this novel:
"I now believe, by the way, that miracles can happen."
It made me question everything as I am now not sure if Jamie survived or not. The rest of the novel had me convinced that she would die, but this last line makes me think that she might not have. What else would Landon have been talking about with this? Her survival is after all the only miracle we have heard him repeatedly wish for. Perhaps he just meant that Jamie, as the angel he sees her as, was a miracle in itself. This could be it. I don't know, and I guess I never will for sure.
