Good read! Finished it in a day. My one complaint would be that I enjoyed the parts that focused on the surgery or mystery aspects far more than the romance. It was like reading a story with multiple POVs and groaning with frustration whenever I was thrust back into the annoying character's brain. I even noticed myself tuning the narrator out at times when it got too boring and thinking "there's no way I'm going back to listen to all of that again, I'll just keep going" 
I liked the ending, though. I would certainly listen to the sequel.

i put all triggers in graphic even though they arent all explicit. i do that because if you have an extreme sensitivity to any of them you will be triggered.

This one goes out to all the ladies who get a thrill from the fascinating science of the human body.  A noble girl in 1800s Scotland dreams of becoming a surgeon, a feat neither possible nor permissible in her world unless she makes it so.  Brilliant Hazel studies in secret using the only bodies she can get her hands on—dead ones dug up by a resurrection man who happens to make her insides flutter.  Murder, mystery, romance, science—what more could you ask for?  Even if you don’t often read YA—it’s just. so. good.  I cannot wait to read more from debut author Dana Schwartz!
