You Make My Heart Stop by Becky Hunter
2.0

I DNF'd this book at about 35% because I just really did not like Emery and I think it's because I really didn't know much about her, apart from that she has a medical condition which results in her heart stopping when surprised, stunned, etc. Going through the time jumps, I didn't learn much about her interests, goals, personality, but the focus was on an activity that she really wanted to do, even knowing it could cause her heart to stop. 

It's an interesting premise for a book, but I wish we had more time with Emery as a person outside of her medical condition earlier on in the book so that I could grow to care for her, root for her, etc. It felt like all of her actions were taken in spite.

Thanks to Forever for the eARC; all opinions are my own.
