Angel Uncovered is a really fantastic book written by Katie Price. The story isn't in first person but the entire book is from Angel's perspective. So who is Angel?
Angel Summer is Britain's top glamour model, and to the outside world she has it all. She's young, rich, beautiful, married to superstar footballer Cal and has just given birth to a gorgeous daughter, Honey. But appearances can be deceiving and Angel's life is anything but perfect.
After having Honey, Angel feels like she hasn't bonded with her daughter, which leads to her feeling like an inadequate mother. Her husband Cal is transferred to Italy but Angel is reluctant to leave England, which causes a rift between them.
Angel discovers she has post-natal depression but when she tries to talk to Cal about it he dismisses her and accuses her of lying. After a mostly innocent night with another sports star, Cal then proceeds to accuse Angel of cheating; Angel returns to England a total mess.
When she overdoses on painkillers, she awakens in hospital. Cal has seen the light and is bent on fulfilling all her desires and for six months life is happy for Angel. She is then informed that CAL had cheated on HERand is enraged but eventually forgives Cal...until it is discovered that it was not only a one-night stand but a long affair. The situation is worsened when the press catch wind of the story.
Eventually, Angel realises that the man she truly loves is Ethan, the baseball star she spent the night with. So she goes back to him. Score one for Angel!

I loved this book. I thought it was brilliantly written and the plot was so real and the feelings so genuine I felt like I was right there. But I felt so frustrated reading the parts where Cal treated Angel like dirt and she just stood there and took it; I was like he has no right to be so rude! But I suppose she wasn't really in any position to stand up to him, given the whole post-natal depression thing. However, I suppose that's how I know it's a great book- it elicited reactions from me, I actually cared about what happened to Angel.
I thought it was a bit weird though how Angel knew she was madly in love with Ethan when they spent less than a week together, total. But I was still glad when she chose him over Cal, I don't think Cal deserved her and I'm pleased that she moved on with her life as opposed to wasting it by his side.
Go Angel!

uhmagod, this book is so like my type!! rosie, you are so good at writing blurbs!!
This sounds like a really complicated story. It quite reminds me of what you said on facebook: "Actually no, we kids don't change the person we love three times a year" - adults do as you can see in this book :D But anyway, good work, I like your review pretty much... :)
