Apart from this, it was an interesting aspect, taking into consideration how suicide affects other people, and how sometimes a lie can help people heal, because they can relate to somebody's pain. Is it worth though, creating this fake impression of a person nobody really knew, just to be able to deliver a message. And how selfless or selfish the intentions really were?

This is the first book in a trilogy featuring Angelique de Xavia (and my favourite of the three). The other two books are The Sacred Art of Stealing, and A Snowball in Hell respectively.

This is an interesting book which raised lots of questions for me but didn't reach any conclusions. Why are we here? What it feels like to be taken for granted. How we often settle for second-best in life.
There is a lot of sadness in the characters of this book, centring around the melancholy of Eva. Yet Townsend peppers her book with plenty of chuckles to keep the book enjoyable and compelling

I thought this was okay, I liked the humour, but it also fell a little flat for me.
There was no real build up in the romance, it seemed to just appear when Gabriel decided he liked the smell of her and then they were kissing. Add in a sort of second love interest and jealousy was in abundance.
I can't say I connected with the characters or the story but I decided to finish it. The best bit for me was probably the cat-fight at the end and the guys' comments about it.
