*NetGalley Review*

This book was one for the ages. As much as I wanted to like this book, it was a hot mess. The writing felt off and at times it felt like I was reading two different books. I wanted to really like Angel but she made it so hard with her brash personality. I felt like she needed therapy or anger management to deal with all the stress. Then we have Caleb and there was much to be desired when it came to him as well. I didn’t care for him and felt that he really didn’t redeem himself enough for me as I read. There was one scene at the end but it felt so out of character and forced.I honestly didn’t feel a connection between Caleb and Angel as I read. Then there were side stories that were way over the top and made me cringe. I appreciate the light being shown on children with asthma in the Bronx, I grew up there and developed asthma later on. For that reason alone I will be giving this book three stars.
