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.

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 fi nd Colton, Quinn takes a risk in hopes of fi nally 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.

Rezensionen
"Above all else, Things We Know By Heart explores the possibility of finding human connection through tragic loss. Couple that with Kirby's gift for detail and writing relatable characters and you get a not just a love story, but one with a ferocious pulse." - John Corey Whaley, Printz Award-winning author of Where Things Come Back

"This is hands down Jessi Kirby's best book to date. It's stunning and breathtaking, at turns heartbreaking and healing." - Sarah Ockler, author of Twenty Boy Summer

"The love story will hook readers-especially those who enjoyed John Green's The Fault in our Stars. This memorable romance will ring true with teens." - School Library Journal

"Well-rounded characters and the romantic tension of unrevealed secrets." - Kirkus Reviews

"Kirby's story is, at its core, a sweet, budding romance, set against the backdrop of family. [A] story of letting go and moving forward." - Publishers Weekly

"[A] sweet romance that growsorganically." - Unshelved.com

"Kirby's writing is lush and emotional...[A] satisfying romance. Like Ockler's similarly themed and similarly enjoyable Twenty Boy Summer, this brings all the poignancy and sentiment that a genre fan could wish." - BCCB

"Kirby weaves a sweet romance in the same spirit as Susanne Colasanti and Lauren Barnholdt." - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
