And will Kemi offer her very soul for the angel who holds her heart?

I went into Angels Like You with cautious curiosity because it was something I longed to read because of the angel+human trope.
After I turned each page of the book, I found myself caught between moments of intrigue and thinking like the book was almost great, but not quite.
JoJo’s writing is good and I applaud that. There were certain lines that made me pause, reread, and smile because of how effortlessly beautiful they were.
I could see what the book was trying to do with the visible themes, and I appreciated it.
But here’s the thing: I had my reservations… and unfortunately, they were not unfounded.
The pacing felt inconsistent and uneven. Some chapters felt padded with some unnecessary introspection that didn’t seem to drive the story forward.
The scenes that should have hit hardest felt rushed or underdeveloped and I was not able to truly connect with the characters on a soul-deep level.
The protagonist (while flawed and human) didn’t grow on me the way I hoped she would. I found myself detached at times.
And the romance? It was good but it would have been beter. It lacked that magnetic pull I was looking for. I had high hopes for it.
Still, Angels Like You wasn’t a total miss. It was still a cute book and I enjoyed reading it. I love the end mostly and the plot was also a good one. I'm sort of waiting for a book two if there would be any because I would love to see more of the main characters.
Would I recommend it? Sure, I would. This book had a lot of potential.
