For fans of FIVE FEET APART, this emotional and romantic YA offers an unflinching look at not only the realities of heart failure, but at memory, grief, guilt, and what it means to liveβin spite of another, because of another, for another. For yourself.
Sydney WellsΒ should have died. She was supposed to die.
She never expected, after years of waiting, to receive a heart transplant. Now, seventeen-year-old Sydney doesnβt know what to do with her life. Her daily routine consisted of staying indoors, eating heart-healthy foods, and posting about her transplant list experiences on TheWaitingList with her long-distance BFF (and heart failure buddy) Chloe.Β
Now, Sydney latches onto the one thing that gives her meaning: learning as much as she can about the person whose heart she inherited. After finding the family of her likely-donor, Mia,Β Sydney falls deep into her worldβand may also be falling for Mia's best friend, Clayton.Β
ButΒ Sydney isnβt the only one hiding something. Miaβs brother Tanner wonβt talk to Clayton, and Clayton wonβt tell Sydney why. And hundreds of miles away, Chloeβs health has taken a turn for the worse.Β Sydney needs to face whatβs in her heartβthe truth, the guilt, and the futureβbefore itβs too late.
