Goodreads description--A new heart saved her life—but will it help her find out what really happened to its donor?Seventeen-year-old Leah MacKenzie is heartless. An artificial heart in a backpack is keeping her alive. However, this route only offers her a few years. And with her rare blood type, a transplant isn’t likely. Living like you are dying isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. But when a heart becomes available, she’s given a second chance at life. Except Leah discovers who the donor was — a boy from her school — and they’re saying he killed himself. Plagued with dreams since the transplant, she realizes she may hold the clues to what really happened.
Matt refuses to believe his twin killed himself. When Leah seeks him out, he learns they are both having similar dreams and he’s certain it means something. While unraveling the secrets of his brother’s final moments, Leah and Matt find each other, and a love they are terrified to lose. But life and even new hearts don’t come with guarantees. Who knew living, took more courage than dying?
This Heart of Mine is a haunting, poignant tale about living and dying, surviving grief, guilt, and heartache, while discovering love and hope in the midst of sadness.

This sounds haunting! It sounds like it may have a little magical realism/paranormal mixed in with the contemporary. Love that! Adding it to my TBR. Thanks for sharing :)

I can see how it sounds that way. Ironically, all of the elements of the story that seem that way are based off some truth. The author's husband had a kidney transplant and had some similar experiences/side effects. It was very interesting. This one is on NetGalley for review if you're interested. Thanks for stopping by Lillian!
