Ratings and reviews

I managed to finish this book but struggled. The writing comes across as immature and lacking in substance. The storyline was rushed and at times I felt like I was reading the work of a teenage amateur. Also, the main protagonist, Jenny, was incredibly irritating.

Not a big fan of these books ... but they're cheap, so .... if you're going to write about places that exist ... research! Ireland can be crossed in 3 hours! Why on earth it took Jenny an exhausting 3 days ??? Did she mistakingly go to Australia? ?.. Hated this book ...

Really enjoyed this book find myself trying to guess the end but this surprised me although not fully nice read x

About the author

Kitty Neale was raised in South London and this working-class area became the inspiration for her novels. In the 1980s she moved to Surrey with her husband and two children, but in 1998 there was a catalyst in her life when her son died, aged just 27. After working for 2 years with other bereaved parents in a support group, Kitty took up writing as a form of catharsis, and now lives in Spain with her husband. Lost Angel was a Sunday Times bestseller.
