Quinn Sullivan lost the love of her life when her boyfriend, Trent, died in an accident their junior year. In an attempt to get closure, she reached out to the recipients of his donated organs. Though some answered her letters, the one Quinn feels matters most–the person who received Trent’s heart–has been silent.
Nineteen-year-old Colton Thomas has spent the last several years in and out of hospitals waiting for a heart transplant. Now that he’s finally received a new heart, Colton is regaining strength, and he’s walking away from his bedridden past with no intention of looking back. He doesn’t want to know about the person who had to die so that he could live. He only wants to move forward.
But Quinn can’t let it go. Venturing outside the system to find Colton, Quinn takes a risk in hopes of finally laying her memories to rest. But what begins as an innocent conversation quickly becomes an attraction–and to make matters worse, Colton has no idea how they’re connected. His zest for life pulls Quinn from her months of sorrow but leaves her torn between honesty and utter betrayal. Because no matter how hard she’s falling for Colton, each beat of his heart reminds her of all she’s lost
Oh my freaking God I can NOT with this story. Guys. Guys guys guys. The idea of cell memory (that’s what they call it right?) is always intriguing and this is sort of seeing it from the other side. It sounds undeniably heartbreaking and I’m so so so heartbroken already from the synopsis. Can I have this now? Like, RIGHT NOW? Because I sort of need it. Quinn looking for pieces of her boyfriend and the idea that Quinn’s looking for Trent in someone else? That’s just sort of…guys I’m probably going to cry.
YES! This one sounds so amazing and I’ve heard such great things about it! I have yet to read a book by this author, but I definitely want to! Great pick!

Everyone tells me I should read Jessi Kirby’s books. But like you said I hear they can be real tearjerkers! Maybe we can read them and cry together!
