Summary of Soaring, by Veronica L Mull

Dive into the whimsical tale of 'Soaring' by Veronica L Mull, where love, drama, and celestial beings collide in a delightful reading experience.

Ever wondered what happens when you mix an angel with a lot of human drama? Well, welcome to Soaring, where Veronica L Mull takes us on a whimsical ride through the clouds of love, self-discovery, and some seriously questionable decision-making. Buckle up, because we're diving headfirst into this wild tale!

First things first, we meet our hero-er, heroine, to be precise. She's got that classic "I'm just a regular person looking for love" vibe, which means she probably makes some choices that will leave you shaking your head and chuckling at the same time. Enter: the love interest, who possesses all the charm of a mythical being. Spoiler alert: he's literally an angel. And believe me, that's only the beginning of their rather complicated relationship.

As our protagonist navigates through the complexities of love and her own existential crises, we're treated to some critical scenes like awkward first dates, heartfelt conversations that sound like they were lifted from a rom-com script, and the inevitable emotional turmoil that would make even Shakespeare roll his eyes. Mull does a commendable job of mixing in the humor with the sappy moments because, let's face it, who doesn't love a good cringe-worthy moment?

Our darling angel, who we can only assume has majored in "Swooping In and Saving the Day," tends to appear at rather convenient times, leaving our heroine with both fluttering heart palpitations and more questions than answers. Will she choose true love, or will she decide that being with a celestial being is more trouble than it's worth? Grab your popcorn, because the tension is palpable!

A fun detail to note is how Mull dives into the whole "identity" topic. One moment, our heroine is contemplating her place in the universe, and the next, she's caught up in a whirlwind romance that makes you question if she gave up her Netflix membership for this. Love stories are cute and all, but is it worth it when you have to deal with heavenly family drama? I mean, can't a girl just catch a break?

As we sway through the predictable ups and downs of romance, we also have the classic elements of "finding oneself." You know, that part where our heroine learns that life isn't just about cutesy moments with an angel but also embracing the messiness of being human. And if that isn't enough to keep you flipping the pages (or scrolling, if you're fancy), then I don't know what is.

But here's the kicker-Soaring doesn't just leave you with a happy ending that ties everything in a neat bow. Oh no, that would be too easy! We're treated to some delicious plot twists that promise a little chaos, drama, and maybe a sprinkle of "what were you thinking?" moments.

So, if you're looking for a light-hearted read that combines romance, a pinch of celestial drama, and a resolution that will leave you smiling (with just a dash of eye-rolling), Soaring might just be the book for you. Get ready to laugh, cry, and possibly question your own love life while cheering for our flawed but relatable protagonist. Happy reading, and remember: love isn't always a walk in the park, especially when your partner has wings!
