So many heartfelt thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Griffin, and Stephanie Butland for the opportunity to read and review this wonderful book - 5 glowing stars!
Ailsa Rae, 28, has lived her life on the edge of dying - born with a heart condition and now on the heart transplant list. Her single mom has sheltered Ailsa and taken care of her - letting her spread her wings a bit to go to university but still always living at home when she wasn't in the hospital. When her best friend/ex-boyfriend, Lennox, passes away, Ailsa is ready to give up. Until she gets the call that a heart has been found for her.
Ailsa has been keeping an online blog of her health issues and once she's had her transplant and is at home recovering, she relies more and more on her blog community. Never having been faced with a certain future before, Ailsa lets her readers make decisions for her through online polls. The stronger Ailsa gets, she starts pulling away from her mom, wants to find her biological father, and live on her own - which all cause issues.
Just a wonderfully-written novel that I couldn't put down. I love the email/blog conversations and the quirkiness of it all. Highly recommended!
