The Wrong Heart
by Jennifer Hartmann
4.5*
I don't know how to write this review. Reading this invoked so many emotions, and I just didn't feel ready for it to end. Now all these emotions are left rolling around and I need a good cry!
The MMC was a hard character to warm up to initially, he is a vary jaded and apathetic character, and often cruel, so it was hard to empathise with him initially. He isn't a perfect person, that knows all the societal rules to follow but I loved seeing him try. As it progressed I really felt myself getting attached to him, and watching his struggle in just surviving. Sometimes it can be really hard to get through each day, and just do the bare minimum of surviving. I personally found the MMC more relatable than the FMC, but I could also appreciate her character too.
Neither of them were open or looking for a relationship, but I really loved their journey through healing each other.
There were some interesting twists that I didn't see coming, and I loved how things slowly connected up!
My only thing is that I think I wanted more from the FMC, I wanted more of the raw grief at the start. I wanted to feel the loss of her husband, all those emotions. We get a bit of a glimpse later in the form of a flashback with the Doctor...but I had wanted more of that early on in the beginning.
100% the trigger warnings need to be read before picking this up, as there are strong themes of grief and suicide, as well as many others too.
