Convince us to read the book: I really liked this book. It was sad, but rewarding and never bored me. It's just a little unrealistic, but that didn't make it bad.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: I was very interested by the fact that the heart changed her personality. It would be kind of cool if that happened in real life, but it doesn't, so that made it a little harder to enjoy the book at times, but still made it more interesting.
Did you finish: Yes
Did the cover tempt you and/or reflect the contents of the book: The cover didn't excite me a lot or anything, but I think it's a pretty good cover, simple but pretty, and it goes with the book pretty well. I immediately thought it might be about heart transplants when I saw the book because I'd read another book about that just before that. That cover was red with a human heart (like, the organ) in the middle. Just a little gross. This cover is better.
