Leah MacKenzie is in need of a heart, currently she has an artificial heart in a backpack keeping her alive. This will only last for so long, and with a rare blood type, a transplant isn’t looking too likely, so she has come to somewhat terms of how grim her future looks. But when a heart does become available, she’s given a new chance at life. But when she finds out who the donor is, this changes everything. A local boy from her high school, Eric, who everyone believes killed himself, everyone but his twin brother, Matt. Now tortured by dreams and phantom feelings, she believes Matt is telling the truth, that his brother is trying to tell her something. The two take on a really risky job of playing detective on the case to bring justice to Eric’s death once and for all. This novel was really well written and definitely had a lot of heart, but this reader didn’t completely fall in love with it. A lot of the plots felt too clean and tidy and coincidental for it to feel authentically believable. Everything was conveniently placed and it just felt like this would have felt a lot messier. Like when Leah got depression at the end of the novel when everything was said and done, felt like a convenient plot trope to get the reader reading for a good fifty pages more. It was probably to make it feel real and to show that this can happen, but it just felt too suitable for the story. The mystery plot surrounding her heart donor and his suspicious death was really entertaining and kept the reader on their toes. The plot went on for just long enough, because by the end it was starting to get stale, stalking the same person for information when they clearly didn’t want to talk; it felt a little repetitive. It also felt a little out of character for our main character to just randomly call or visit this person they don’t know. The reader gets that it was a device used to show Leah changing from “Old Leah” to “New Leah” but it just didn’t make sense because no one would do that. That being said though, the characters were well developed and felt like true people. The reader did like the distinction between the new and old Leah, like mentioned above, sometimes it felt a little drastic and unbelievable, but the contrast was really well written. Matt was also a good main character because we could feel how much the death hurt him and we felt his grief come through the pages in his actions towards everybody. His arc was definitely rewarding to read because he got what he was searching for, and he could begin to move on and start the healing process. The way this was written in a back and forth point of view from Leah to Matt could be jarring because it would switch mid-chapter. Sometimes the only way the reader would know was the tenses would switch. Leah’s POV was told in first person, meanwhile, Matt’s was in third person. The reader isn’t totally sure why the author decided to do that, because either way it didn’t affect the reader’s enjoyment of the story, it also didn’t make this feel deeper. In the end, this was a good read, but not a totally amazing read for this reader. It was also a great story about becoming an organ donor and the selfless act that can be.
