Okay so after thinking about it a lot, I've decided to change my review for Heart Sister. I've dropped it by one star. This is not because my original post was a tour post; Xpresso Book Tours informs all reviewers that if they cannot honestly give a book a rating of 3 stars or higher, they can reach out to the company and get an excerpt to post instead. I gave it 3 stars because at that time, that was an honest rating for me. But the more I reflect on it, the less I can actually say that I enjoyed it. A big problem for me was Emmitt's character. Emmitt is, to be blunt, a self-centered asshole. He is an actual asshole. And the fact that he's grieving and his minuscule bit of growth at the end of the book doesn't redeem that. He does a lot of things that are not okay, ranging from vaguely rude to very selfish to extreme privacy violations and actual illegal actions.
