Angel Summer #2
Футболни съпруги
Топмоделът и любимката на цяла Англия – Ейнджъл, изглежда, е на върха на щастието. Омъжена е за голямата си любов – футболиста Кал, и е родила от него прекрасна дъщеря. Ейнджъл има всичко, за което една жена може да мечтае. Под повърхността обаче младата майка се бори с обърканите си чувства, породени от дълбока следродилна депресия.
Трансферът на Кал в „Милан” усложнява отношенията между съпрузите. Когато заминава да живее в Италия, Ейнджъл отказва да се вмести в лъскавия образ на облечена по последна мода футболна съпруга, чиято единствена роля е да краси мъжа до себе си. Трудната адаптация към новата среда става причина тя и Кал да се отчуждят още повече.
Когато футболистът среща своя бивша приятелка, се оказва, че тръпката между тях не е угаснала. Ейнджъл се бори да спаси брака си, но в живота й се появява друг мъж, готов да й даде всичко, от което тя се нуждае. В каква посока ще се наклонят везните за избора на Ейнджъл?

About the author
Katie Price
75 books237 followersBorn as Katie Infield in Brighton, East Sussex, England on May 22 1978, I changed my last name to Price when my mother Amy remarried. I have an older brother, Daniel, and a younger sister, Sophie.
Although I had many interests when I was younger, a friend suggested that I should pursue a modeling career. So I sent a few shots to an agency and was taken on. I attended loads of castings, had my fair share of negative responses then one day, in a studio next to where I was working, a model failed to turn up for a shoot. The photographer asked around if anyone would be interested in doing a topless shoot… and the rest, as they say, is history!
My topless modeling career took off in 1996 when I appeared in The Sun as part of the ‘Page 3′ pictorial. The legendary section of the tabloid features a different girl each day posing topless. I was the first topless model to grace the Page 3 for a whole week – fully dressed on a Monday, then each day revealing more and more untill Friday – full topless. The exposure boosted my career and I soon became one of the UKs most famous models, under the pseudonym ‘Jordan.’
From there on I graced many magazine front covers , not just in the UK but also across Europe. My popularity soon reached even further afield and I posed for Playboy, landing on the front cover of the September 2002 issue.
I have been through many well-publicised relationships. And my illnesses, including the removal of a tumor from one of my fingers and complications with my pregnancies and family, have been very public.

3.5 ⭐️ = Quite Good.
Hardback.
Well, what can I say? Absolutely hardly any storyline, predictable, with shallow characters in a fickle setting.
All I can add to that is that it was decently written and I enjoyed it!😂👍🏻

Second time reading this and unlike Angel, I enjoyed it as much as the first time. Don't get me wrong, I'm still seeing Angel's flaws but I can't help but feel sorry for her as tries to get over postnatal depression. I know alot of Angel is based on Katie. But I wish I knew how much was fact and how much was fiction. I think Cal might be based on Pete but with a career change. Or maybe he's a mix of every boyfriend she's ever had. Who knows? I don't really like Cal but I'm not sure I agreed with Angels choice at the end of the book either.
Anyways this is a good gossipy chick lit. Filled with showbiz glamour and bitchyness. It even made me cry a little. Definitely worth a read.

The beginning of this book was slow and dragged on a bit, but after the first 150 pages it really picked up. The plot was very dramatic and fast paced, SO much happens in just one chapter. I found both Angel and Cal to be a bit annoying and selfish, but enjoyed it none the less. I think with books like these, you just have to enjoy them for what they are. Ended on a cliffhanger too, so I'm looking forward to reding what happens next.

As you might expect, this was absolute rubbish, and made for very quick reading; angel (who in their right mind would name their child angel) was pretty flat and at the same time annoying- the little I can remember about this book was that she whined. A lot. However, the bad writing and characters made it sort of glorious, if terrible, and I did enjoy it. Two stars for sheer congrats to Katie for writing a book- although she most certainly didn't write it.

Out of Katie Price's fiction books the first Angel book was the first one I read. This book alone made me want to read the others that Katie released. I enjoyed it very much and found it easy to read and enjoyed the story.I found it just as good as book 1.
February 26, 2013
The only reason why I read this book is because I'm an AC Milan fan. It was a complete waste of time, unless you are interested in footballers WAGs and their lives.

Kitaptan çok beklentim olmasa da onun bile aşağısındaydı. Komplo teorileriyle tv dizilerini andırdı.

Ich möchte erst einmal mit den Hauptcharakteren anfangen: Angel und Cal.
Angel hat die Rolle, die jede Heldin eines Romans in der Celebrity-Welt hat: Sie interessiert sich nicht für den neuesten Trend und macht nicht mit beim sich gegenseitigen Überbieten, wer am besten aussieht. Leider machten eine Brustvergrößerung und ihr Job als Glamour-Model sie mir dennoch so fremd, dass es mir manchmal schwerfiel, mich in sie hinein zu versetzen. Trotzdem schaffte es Price, dass ich an anderen Stellen mit Angel wirklich mitgelitten habe.
Dann ist da Cal, Angels Ehemann. Zunächst absolut sympathisch, musste er dank mangelnder Aufmerksamkeit seiner Frau gegenüber ein paar Minuspunkte auf meiner Beliebtheitsskala einbüßen. Und dann ging für mich eine Achterbahnfahrt los: Mal fand ich Cal toll, wollte, dass diese süße Liebesgeschichte der beiden kein Ende findet, dann hätte ich ihn wieder am liebsten in die Wüste geschickt. Bis zum Ende habe ich mir kein klares Bild von Cal machen können, geschweige denn entscheiden, ob ich ihn mochte.
Jetzt aber zur Handlung:
Es hat mir gefallen, wie die Geschichte zeigt, dass hinter der Fassade mancher perfekter Promis es absolut nicht rosig aussieht. Angels Probleme werden gut herüber gebracht und daher fällt es kaum auf, dass es eigentlich so gut wie keine Pause vom Drama gibt. Geht es nicht um Angels Depression, sind die anderen - fiesen - Spielerfrauen das Thema, gefolgt von Beziehungskrisen bis hin zu Drohbriefen. Ungefähr in der Mitte macht die Handlung einen abrupten Sprung und auch das Ende kommt für meinen Geschmack zu plötzlich, ein Handlungsstrang wird noch nicht einmal wirklich zu Ende erzählt.
Ich würde das Buch nicht unbedingt als Fehlkauf bezeichnen, das wäre vielleicht doch zu hart. Aber es entzieht sich meinem Verständnis, warum es sich hierbei um "The number one bestseller" (s. Cover) handelt. Leider habe ich erst sehr spät herausgefunden, dass es sich hierbei um die Fortsetzung von Angel handelt. Vielleicht ist das Lesevergnügen größer, wenn man die Vorgeschichte kennt.

Original review ---> http://lenayu.blogspot.com/2013/11/an...
To begin with I started reading this just because the book was extremely cheap but now I regret for having paid for it at all. This book is a total time killer. There is no originality in the plot as well as in characters. Moreover characters are full of clichés.
Having read the book I’ve came across the information on the Internet that this book was Ghost-written. That’s not surprise actually celebrities often do this. Not all of them are Hemmingways though.
Let us start with an analysis of characters. The protagonist Angel (actually hate the names in this book. Angel Summer, Honey. Is that for real?) has married her Prince Charming in the previous book but it’s not the happily ever after she imagined. After Honey was born she suffers from postnatal depression. Angel is tormented by feeling not connected to her daughter and husband. However, as we will found out later, he cheated on her in that exact time of her depression. With her friend. There you go, Prince Charming. What is more he tries to show as a guilty one. But Angel suspected that suicide would be the best option to draw the man’s attention. I’m not trying to minimalize this action. I just don’t think that the author should do this move, should depict a suicide like something that can help to save marriage. Later on Angel meets another Prince and picks him.
Characters are total clichés from head to toes. I constantly had this feeling of irritation when author tried to show Angel as a positive character because she only did boob job and other WAGs had a lot of silicone. Or because she likes to buy clothes in average shops (but not all the clothes). This is just something I can’t understand.
Anyways I don’t recommend it to anyone. This book is time and brain cells killer. But if you have nothing to read at the beach it may be in hand.

Angel Uncovered is the second book in Katie Price's Angel series. I liked the story, but not as much as the first book. Angel is now married to Cal and they have a baby girl together, but life is not as rosy as it seems...
I was a little disappointed in the characters of both Angel and Cal this time around. I couldn't understand some of the decisions they decided to make and why they acted the way they did. By the end of the book I was starting to like them again, but then I was really disappointed by the ending! I will be reading the third instalment because I'd like to find out what happens to the characters and hope that it ends the way I want it to!

I give this book 3.5 stars. Although it was very good, I found the story very predictable and felt that the ending was too abrupt. I didnt connect with Angel the way I felt you were supposed to and found her annoying and bitchy. I thought the actual storyline was believable and good but the description in the book wasnt great. It was as if Katie Price had actually written this book herself and not hired a ghost writer, which I guess was probably the point. Overall it was a good book and I would advise people to read it, I recommend it as a light holiday read. 3.5/5, :D

Beginning of book was awful and I didn't really get into it much, but after a while, I really enjoyed it and wanted to know what was going to happen. Although, I thought the ending was pretty crap really, and I wanted to know more! I hope katie writes anothe angel book because I actually do feel like I'm reading an unfinished book!

Angel Uncovered was as you expected a sort of "rip-off" from the original Angel.
In saying this i mean you know all you needed to know about Angel in the first book. Katie Price didn't really need to spend her time writing the same book twice!
There isn't really much more i can comment on at this moment in time.
Out of a 10 i would rate this book a generous 7.

This is the second angel book. And I have to say I enjoyed it. Although it annoys me a little the similarities between Katie and angels life It is still a good book. It was one that I found that I wanted to carry on reading and had quite a few twists and emotional moments. All In all I would read it again one day and I am looking forward to reading paradise (angel book 3) :)
June 6, 2011
Took me a while to get into it at first but I'm glad I didn't just stop reading it! If you love lots of steamy, sexy romance, passion, fame, glamour and true love you will love this book. It also has plenty of scandals and has a thriller twist when Angel is being stalked and threatened...

I didn`t have high hopes for this book before I started reading it. The first two chapters seemed to confirm that and I debated whether to read the rest but I did get hooked and eventually couldn`t put it down. I recommend this book to anyone that wants a very quick frivilous read!
February 22, 2013
This was another good read, although I couldn't help wondering whether some of the things had actually happened to Katie Price in real life.
The story picks up from where the last book ended and I thought that it was entertaining. It is by no means a classic but it is worth a read.

Another easy beach read, but I would have liked Katie to write about something a little further from home. The characters are very clearly based on her own life. It's Jackie Collins light, trashy glitzy gossip you'll read in a weekend.

This was a great book. It had a great storyline and was very easy to follow. There was also a surprising ending which made me want to read more. The Angel series is a great read
November 23, 2011

October 28, 2012
It was pretty bad...
November 5, 2012
Another book in the series.I enjoyed it as its a quick easy read. You can read ab bit and come back and its easy to follow.
June 2, 2014
I found the football and WAG stuff a little boring at times. Bit I loved all the stuff in LA. I think I'm a tiny bit in lust with Ethan! Found this overall an easy and very enjoyable read
March 22, 2014
Brilliant follow on from Angel, another page turner from Katie P.
May 7, 2020
Good easy, quick read when you want something that is not heavy and doesn't take much thinking about.
