Just when Chloe thinks she has the whole world in front of her, her world comes crashing down. Her heart fails her and life is completely different from what she expected. However, out of this terrible incident comes the chance to discover her true heart.

The song by The Oh Hellos "Hello My Old Heart", referenced in the book, is one the reader must read when it is mentioned later in the book. Don't listen to it before hand, it creates a much better connection later in the book.

This was a very well written book, a unique type of story, one that showed me that the plans you make in life aren't always the ones that come through. Things can drastically change in a minute and when they do, it's ok to go with the flow. Find your true heart. There were some twists in the story I didn't see coming, some things that I had to question, that almost seemed far fetched, but after doing some research, I was able to look at things differently. Definitely one I would recommend!

Well written but the ending... seems like a cop out. Like the author couldn't figure out how to pull it all together and make it make sense within the book's reality.

Random thought -- one character claims that it's bad form to apply to a friend's top school. Is that a thing? I've never heard such nonsense.

This was a lovely story to read with cute relationships and an interesting surprise at the end.

I did find it a bit similar to the plot of the movie Last Christmas, but it was still an enjoyable read with a nice surfing aspect. Reading about the transfer of memories was also a fascinating concept to explore in this book. As I science student, I would have loved it if it was explored just a little bit deeper though.

Also, isn't this cover gorgeous?!

THIS BOOK. It starts off pretty simply with Chloe landing in the hospital and the transplant. Learning how to live with a new heart. Making new friends. Kai is a great love interest and it's all too easy to wish them to get together. BUT THE END. The last few chapters really take your heart and take it on a trip. Shocking, plot twists you think you see coming only to be slammed with others that are even more surprising. A great story that makes you question how you want to spend your life and to remind you not to take the simple things for granted.… (altro)
