Kissed by an Angel
by Elizabeth Chandler
I read this book as part of my 12 Reads from 12 Friends in 2020 and it was very much just okay.
The book begins with the two main characters, Tristan and Ivy, getting in a car crash. It then proceeds to spend the rest of the book giving a lot of, in my opinion, pointlessness about the characters. Within the last 50 pages or so, we finally reach the point that we find out what happened after the accident. Tristan dies and Ivy lives. I should add that during the whole book, Ivy believes in angels and prays to them. After he dies, Ivy stops believing in her angels and while Tristan is trying to contact her to tell her that he loved her, she isn't able to see him and even though he tries to contact her through others, she won't hear it because she thinks that if angels existed then they would have saved Tristan. Now, Tristan dies and is turned into an angel and has a mission to complete. From the very minute he is told he has a mission, I knew that his mission was to get Ivy to believe in angels again, but that isn't touched on at all in this book.
By the end of the book, Tristan has somehow gone back in time and figured out that the accident was really and accident and somehow had cut his breaks. And that's it. That's how it ended.
To wrap this up- I had wanted to read this years ago and am actually very happy that I never did. If I had not had this suggested to me for a challenge, I doubt I ever would have picked this up. It just seemed like a whole lot of nothing happened in this book other then a teen dying.
