About this listen

Ailsa Rae is learning how to live.

She's only a few months past the heart transplant that - just in time - saved her life. Life should be a joyful adventure. But....

Her relationship with her mother is at breaking point, and she wants to find her father. Have her friends left her behind? She's felt so helpless for so long that she's let polls on her blog make her decisions for her. She barely knows where to start on her own.

Then there's Lennox. Her best friend and onetime lover. He was sick too. He didn't make it. And now she's supposed to face all of this without him.

But her new heart is a bold heart.
She just needs to learn to listen to it....

Overall I enjoyed this story about a young woman who is the recipient of a heart transplant. The author has a lovely style of prose, although I found the pace a little slow at times. The way it is partly written through her blog is a nice framework for part of the story. The narrator does a great job too.

A lovely story

An intimate touching and moving tale brought to life beautifully by the brilliant Cathleen McCarron. Don’t miss this one. What a wonderful 10 hours!! I’m going to miss the characters.

So listenable
