The close-knit residents of Hackett Island have never seen anyone quite like Lani Garver. Everything about this new kid is a mystery: Where does Lani come from? How old is Lani? And most disturbing of all, is Lani a boy or a girl?
Claire McKenzie isn't up to tormenting Lani with the rest of the high school elite. Instead, she befriends the intriguing outcast. But within days of Lani's arrival, tragedy strikes and Claire must deal with shattered friendships and personal demons--and the possibility that angels may exist on earth.
Not angels- people
| Customer Rating:  | Long before I came out of my own closet, I read this as a teenager. The final scenes have stayed with me for years, even though, until now, I couldn't remember the book's title, and I wasn't sure if it was even still in print.
While some readers chose to believe that Lani was an angel, he wasn't. he was a young gay man, and his friendship and love for the girl who accepts him as he is, are what make this story so beautiful- not any supernatural explination.
That even now, when I'm a grown, strong, out queer woman, I am made so sad by this sweet book, amazes me. It's that good. |
Could Not Put This Down
| Customer Rating: | I picked this book up at a store, and thought it would be an easy read. I was right, but I totally loved this book. Sometimes I re-read it just so that it's engraved in my brain.
You fall in love with some of the characters and you hate the others, which is good. Also, the main concepts are really deep for such a short book and I think that the author did really well to make the book have a specific point. It really makes you rethink your life. Five stars from me. I will definitely read some other books by this author.
IMPORTANT: People under 13 should not read this, it is pretty dark and deals with a lot of tough tragedies, that happen in real life. I still cry every time I read it. |
A little story that's not so little
| Customer Rating: | 2 of my friends read the book before me and we were in high school at the time so it was borrowed from the library
It wasn't until later that I bought the book because I loved it so much I wanna give it to my kids if I ever have any
I even made a psychology report about it
It's a very serious book that got me bawling out towards the end because I already knew what would happen since the very beginning of the story was told after the event happened
I'm the type of person who hates spoilers and the book spoils it from the very start! If that little tidbit was never there had I been reading the book without knowing, it'd definitely would have a much bigger impact on me
This is the type of book that got me pulling all nighters just so I can keep reading what's gonna be next
It's one of the most favorable books I've ever read |
A good YA book by a YA author
| Customer Rating: | | As a poor reviewer, I won't go into the details of this book..but I will say that it's one of the few book I've read that is for MY demographic that actually held my interest. There was intrigue, conflict, mystery and a damn lot of sadness. I really liked it, and I'm not "supposed" to like YA books! |
Best YA book I've ever read!!!
| Customer Rating: | | This book is amazing. It made me laugh but at the same time made me think about my life and the way people treat each other every day. It's a very sad and real situation. It also made me cry like a baby. I loved it. I recommend it to anyone who likes a good, supensful and touching read. |
