A review by larsdhhedbor
American Heart by Laura Moriarty
5.0
Simply wonderful
I confess that I bought American Heart to show support for the author in light of the controversy surrounding a review withdrawn for all the wrong reasons.
I never expected it to move me, scare me, and inspire me as much as it did. At every turn, the tension is ratcheted up, notch by notch, until it seems like there is no possible relief.
I sincerely hope that this book success at what the author was trying to accomplish -- ensuring that it can never, ever come true.
