I liked Browne's previous book, which felt a bit like a meditating. This one felt a bit more plot heavy, as Angel slowly figures out what happened to her in California. I like the way Browne teases it out, and shows us how, other than her family, Angel didn't have a ton going on in California, but in New York, she finds people to bring out the best sides of her. One thing I found interesting is that I couldn't always tell from the audiobook whether it was prose or poetry. It felt like it was going back and forth.
