The Wrong Heart is my first Jennifer Hartmann book. I'd been told by friends that it is not your typical fluffy, heart warming romance. It's heartfelt and honestly kind of heavy- but in the best way.
After losing her husband in their anniversary, Melody spirals into the darkness of depression and attempts to take her life. Parker is going through life just trying to get through day by day. He has lived through some of the worst things life can deal you. Both end up in the same suicide prevention support group. He can't stand her. She's the physical embodiment of sunshine and it grates on him. He is dark, broody, and sharp tongued. But she's drawn to him.
Trying to make it through the dark days, Melody reaches out to the person who received her husband's heart, trying for any connection to her deceased husband. He replies and becomes a lifeline for Melody. Until everything comes crashing down around her.
This book weighed on my heart. It took me longer to finish than I typically would read a book. I had to keep pausing and giving myself the space to process. Having gone through my own darkness, I really felt for both Melody and Parker but I needed to take care of me as well.
Take care of yourself while reading this book. Trigger warnings for self harm, suicide ideation, suicide attempts, suicide, and child abuse.
