This is one of the books that Marian Keyes wrote about the Walsh sisters. I already have written about Anybody Out There? which was about Anna, one of the younger sisters. Angels is about Margaret, or Maggie, the oldest of the Walsh girls. I’ve read all of her books about the Walshes and I have to admit that I never read them in a particular order…just when they were available at the used book store. However looking back on them, they probably would be best read in order.
Maggie is described throughout the books as the responsible sister. She never went through the wild rebellious stage that her other sisters went through. So when Maggie and her husband of nine years decide to separate, it is a big deal in the Walsh family and gives Maggie the opportunity to behave a little out of character.
Maggie leaves Ireland and visits her best friend Emily who is in LA working as a struggling screen writer. While Maggie is there she acts as “assistant” to Emily in gets a taste of the entertainment industry, makes interesting and different choices about who to flirt with and even date, and gets back involved with her high school boyfriend, Shay, who works in the entertainment industry and travels to LA at times.
This whole story is very entertaining and an easy read. Marian Keyes deals with some hard issues like divorce in a way that makes them real but still has humor and light.
