43 - In a Heartbeat

Finished In a Heartbeat by Loretta Ellsworth.

I picked this because I sort of wanted to cry--and a good pick for that, because I totally did.

Eagan and Amelia have never met but they're about to become connected. Eagan is a figure skater and an organ donor; Amelia needs a heart transplant. After a fatal accident on the ice, Amelia gets Eagan's heart.

After the transplant, Amelia's a little different. She becomes more sarcastic and starts liking the color purple (and also all things grape-flavored).

This book is told from both girls' viewpoints, and is just really good. (Especially if you're in the mood to cry.)
