Angels....

^^j i thought there was divine interventions in this book. But through the middle of the book i realized the reason why the book was titled angels. Looks like, if people live in Los Angeles, they are often called "Angels".

Now, i wouldn't recommend this book if your happyly married or happily in a relationship, it will give you "what if" thoughts with your relationship. I think i bought this book when i was broken hearted and hated the thought of being in a relationship. The book started when Maggie realized that her husband was having an affair because of the comment he did on the chocolates she bought. Right there and then, she left him and went refuge to her parents house. Then later on flew to Los Angeles to spend some downtime with her best friend. There she tested new waters, and as the story is told in every page you will get to learn where her marrage started to crumble down. She had a miscarrage twice, and people are giving her thier sympathys and she had develop a self-pity attitude that she forgot that her hubby is also suffering from depression due to the lost. That drove him to have an affair. You might not agree that this is a valid reason to have an affair, but if you are depressed and someone takes notice of you and make you happy and do things for you to make you happy, an affair is not a surprise. Believe me, its not. A depressed person needs attention and loving care, again believe me, been there, done that.

Towards the end, i found maggie to be quite stupid. But i couldn't blame her, what can i say... shes a typical girl. I did fell sorry with the husband Garv. He really took care of her, he was very understanding even though he knew his wife still longs for her high school lover who disappeared on her and he thought this was the main reason that she choose to go to Los Angeles.

But in the end, they have reconciled. Understood each other. As the ending says, there is no perfect relationship. You will sometimes find your self fighting with each other. But what matters is that you remember your vows to each other. "To sickness and to health, through good times and bad, till death do us part."
