Couldn’t open this book on my kindle which was a shame. The description sounds great and I will pick up a copy when it’s available to check it out...

This story follows 17 year old Chloe, who is struggling to fit back into her 'normal' life after a heart transplant. We follow Chloe on her journey with this new heart as she begins to know and feel things she shouldn't. She starts to recognize people she's never even seen before.
This book for me was brilliantly written. I felt every emotion that Chloe was going through and I felt so sorry for her throughout it all. The surfing was a fantastic addition to the book, as we aren't quite sure why she randomly chose to take up surfing, but by the end of the book we understand why her heart wanted this.
I loved the tiny bit of romance we got with Kai, it was so very sweet. However, my only downfall with this book is it felt very predictable. I guessed quite early on what was going to happen, but the author did shock me when she turned down a different route with alternate universes. That part I did enjoy because I am a big believer of alternate universes. I rated this book four stars and I really did enjoy it. It was a brilliant debut and I can't wait to read more of Shannon Takaoka's work!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for access to this book. This is a great YA palate cleanser. The story line is great. I enjoyed the characters. The plot twist was preposterous but I still liked the book.
