Customer Reviews

Love it!

This is the best book out of the 3. In the end someone dies like in all Lurlene McDaniel's books. But it is still good. A must read!

Angels in Pink: Raina's Story

Very good book, it's the second book of the series. 1st book is Kathleen's Story another good book. Then the 3rd book is Holly's Story another good book. If you like Lurlene Mcdaniel you will like this book. I don't like to read much, but when I pick one of Lurlene Mcdaniel's books I like to read it until it's done. That's how good they are.

An Unforgettable Book

This book was an inspiration to me and has inspired many other young youth readers. Lurlene's books are some of the top inspiration books in the country, and by reading them you will have no problem being able to figure out why. Her books have touched many people and have given them great confidence. All of her books are award winning books in my perspective. She has been given great honors and awards, and she sure does deserve them. Her books are an inspiration in our society today, without such great literature we wouldn't be so great. Raina's Story is one of her inspiring books that I recommend you reading. It shares how life is as a high-school girl and how they have tough choices. Raina has had some tough decisions to make in her life, and when the person she turns to for help tells her a deep secret, it changes her life forever. Will Raina ever tell her anything again? You will have to read this book for yourself to figure out the extreme shock of the story.

Not as good as the first book, but it wasn't bad, either

After reading (and loving) Kathleen's Story, I knew that I was hooked on Lurlene McDaniel's "Angels in Pink" series, and anxiously awaited the release of the second book, RAINA'S STORY. It wasn't a bad book, but it wasn't necessarily a great book, either. RAINA'S STORY still goes inside the lives of the three friends from the first book (Kathleen, Raina, and Holly), but the main focus is (obviously) on Raina St. James. RAINA'S STORY explores the relationship between Raina and her mother, her boyfriend Hunter, and Raina's lack of faith. Everything is going good in Raina's life, until an old boyfriend shows up at her school and threatens to turn everything around. While she's worried about what might happen with him, she throws herself into her volunteer work at the local hospital, where she faces even more challenges, and gets the opportunity to save a woman's life. The "Angels in Pink" series is still something that I enjoy reading, and McDaniel's books are always short enough that you can zip through them in about a day. Unfortunatley, RAINA'S STORY just didn't compare with Kathleen's Story. The "surprise ending" to this one was really predictable and didn't really leave you waiting for more. Regardless, I'll still be looking forward to the last book, but I'd recommend picking this up from the library instead of buying it.
