REVIEW: Things We Know by Heart by Jessi Kirby

(Summary from Goodreads). When Quinn Sullivan meets the recipient of her boyfriend’s donated heart, the two form an unexpected connection.

After Quinn loses her boyfriend, Trent, in an accident their junior year, she reaches out to the recipients of his donated organs in hopes of picking up the pieces of her now-unrecognizable life. She hears back from some of them, but the person who received Trent’s heart has remained silent. The essence of a person, she has always believed, is in the heart. If she finds Trent’s, then maybe she can have peace once and for all. 

Risking everything in order to finally lay her memories to rest, Quinn goes outside the system to track down nineteen-year-old Colton Thomas—a guy whose life has been forever changed by this priceless gift. But what starts as an accidental run-in quickly develops into more, sparking an undeniable attraction. She doesn't want to give in to it—especially since he has no idea how they're connected—but their time together has made Quinn feel alive again. No matter how hard she’s falling for Colton, each beat of his heart reminds her of all she’s lost…and all that remains at stake.


This book though. It was so beautiful, heartbreaking, and fun to read. I really loved everything about this book. I honestly believe in kismet and it was fate that Colton and Quinn met the way they did. I loved that Colton brought Quinn a sunflower. It was like Trent was there… and was a part of Colton in more ways than one. It was heartbreaking what Quinn had to go to. I can't even imagine going throughs something like that. 

Jessi's writing was beautiful. It was just so perfect for the story. Everything about what was going on and what happened was so heartfelt. I felt for Quinn throughout the whole story. 

Everyone needs to pick up this book right away. It is a great read and definitely Jessi's best book so far. I want to read more about Quinn and Colton!

Five out of five stars.
