MM Reviews: One for the Angels

Title: One for the Angels

A topic many people are reluctant to talk about is homelessness. It's considered a 'taboo' subject and some people will even try to keep themselves blissfully ignorant to the plight of countless people who find themselves with nowhere to turn but the streets. As there's stigma attached to the topic, it's rarely found within stories on Mibba - or in mainstream literature either. One for the Angels tackles the topic beautifully.

One day, Juno sees a boy in a purple sleeping bag outside of the shop that she works at. For some reason she can't shake him out of her mind, and thus decides to offer him a token of kindness: a warm drink and something to eat. This action, although appears to be miniscule, ends up being one that opens a door that many others never venture close to, and strikes up an odd friendship that begins with coffee and a doughnut.

louis tomlinson. writes in such a way that engages the reader with Juno's relationship with the boy and encourages them to continue reading, eager to find out more about the two. The chapters are short, as if to signify a small peek into their life, and truly emphasises just how intimate the meetings are between the two, and how Juno feels throughout them. Currently standing at ten chapters, One for the Angels is a story that is deserving of a place in the reader's subscription list, and is one that should not be missed out on.

Special thanks to silent hearts. and mmmxalright for editing.
