P L U S

My sister liked it. My brother’s girlfriend DNFed it. For some reason, I’m in the middle. I finished the book but I did not like it at all. Maybe that’s because I’ve read a lot of “happy” books and haven’t read tear-jerkers for a while. Or maybe, it’s just SO SO SO slow. But I liked the start of each chapter. It has some sort of saying about heart. Like this one:

I grabbed that from my tweet. I do a thread of my current read – current feels and pins them. Anyway, there were so many ” . . . ” in dialogues as if the characters can’t finish their sentences. It was bearable for a while until it became annoying. It’s your choice if you’re going to read it but I know I’m never gonna reread it nor recommend it to anyone. Take it as a warning or a challenge.

4 Out Of 5 "The Heart Wants What It Wants" Stars...

~MY THOUGHTS~

While this didn't strike a chord with me quite like I wanted it to, I did really enjoy it. A quick, but sweetly poignant story, that is refreshingly told. The tidbits at the beginning of each chapter in reference to the heart and heart transplants were neat.

If you've ever lost someone close to you and their organs were transplanted and wondered what the person or people who received those transplants stories were like then this story could be for you.

~MY RATING~ 4/5 STARS - GRADE=B+

~BREAKDOWN OF RATINGS~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Plot~ 3.8/5
Main Characters~ 4/5
Secondary Characters~ 4/5
The Feels~ 3.8/5
Pacing~ 4/5
Addictiveness~ 4/5
Theme or Tone~ 4/5
Flow (Writing Style)~ 4.3/5
Backdrop (World Building)~ 4.2/5
Originality~ 4/5
Ending~ 4/5 Cliffhanger~ Nope.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Book Cover~ Very cute.
Narration~ Amanda Wallace, she was sufficiet but forgettable, but in a good way. When you have a bad experience with a particular narrator, it really sticks with you.
Setting~ Coast of California
Source~ Audiobook (Library)

Dit boek heeft me in het hart geraakt. Mooi en realistisch geschreven met uiteraard een vleugje romantiek. Goed om binnen afzienbare tijd verfilmd te worden. Een aanrader. ( )

This book was refreshing in that it looked at the issue of organ transplants from the viewpoint of the donor's family and loved ones, and the recipient. However, despite the seriousness of the issue, "The Things We Know By Heart" was a light, easy read and rather predictable. I liked Colton as a character and thought his outlook on life was admirable. Quinn, on the other hand was just okay - I found her rather self-absorbed and a bit selfish even though I realise she was mourning the death of her boyfriend, Trent. The thing that really spoilt this book for me was the ending, it was too cheesy and trite for my liking, and it left me wanting more. Otherwise, an enjoyable read. ( )
