A review by patelyne
Owner of a Lonely Heart by Eva Carter

3.0

Told from three POVs, these are the intersecting stories of a grieving widow trying to conceive with embryos they had frozen before her husband passed, a tween girl traveling with her single mom to receive an experimental treatment for a brain tumor, and a father getting to know his daughter 12 years too late.

Going in I thought there was no way this *wasn’t* going to be an emotional read. And there were emotional parts, along with loads of drama. 

I wish I had connected more with the characters though. I feel bad calling them unlikeable - in these situations it would be unrealistic if they *did* constantly act in a ‘likeable’ way - I think it’s really more an issue that the characters just didn’t click with me, so ymmv.

Thank you to NetGalley and RandomHouse Ballantine for the ARC
