![]() Eagan’s relationship with her boyfriend is both interesting and realistic. Her light romances work particularly well and add dimension to both girls’ stories. There are certain things that Ellsworth does well. As the two girls try to reconcile their changed fates, their lives converge in an interesting way (though it takes a suspension of disbelief). ![]() Amelia adjusts to life with a new heart that she thinks feels like it doesn’t quite fit inside her. Eagan is trapped in an interim space full of mist, and she keeps reliving moments from her life while she tries to figure out how to get back to Earth. Told in alternating perspectives, the chapters are short and keep the pace moving along quickly enough. Loretta Ellsworth’s novel is a short, fairly quick read, and it’s enthralling enough to do it in one or two sittings. The two girls’ worlds come crashing together when Amelia gets Eagan’s heart and starts to try to make sense of the new feelings she has–about her own life, and about Eagan’s. Amelia has been sick for half of her life and needs a new heart. ![]() Eagan misses her landing by a quarter-inch during a figure-skating competition and it ends her life. ![]()
