Summary

Stella Cross's heart is poisoned.

After years on the transplant waiting list, she's running out of hope that she'll ever see her eighteenth birthday. Then, miraculously, Stella receives the transplant she needs to survive.

Determined to embrace everything she came so close to losing, Stella throws herself into her new life. But her recovery is marred by strange side effects: Nightmares. Hallucinations. A recurring pain that flares every day at the exact same moment. Then Stella meets Levi Zin, the new boy on everyone's radar at her Seattle prep school. Stella has never felt more drawn to anyone in her life, and soon she and Levi are inseparable. 

Stella is convinced that Levi is her soul mate. Why else would she literally ache for him when they are apart?

After all, the heart never lies...does it?

Review

First of all I would like to say thank you so very much to Disney-Hyperion for sending me this book for review and also for sponsoring this review! 

This book really fell flat for me. When I got it in the mail I was very pleased because this book's synopsis really gripped me and I thought I was going to love it, boy was I wrong.

One of the things I didn't love about this book was the characters. They were just so bland and boring. The character I hated the most was Stella (the main character). She was so clingy and whiny.She blew off her friends for a boy that she literally met five minutes ago. I honestly thing Edward and Bella are more complex than this cast of characters. 

Another thing that fell short me was the "climax". While reading this book I was just so bored because nothing really happened until about page 240. And when something mildly interesting happened it still wasn't very good.
