4/5 stars ★★★★☆
What if you received a heart transplant? What if you fell for the husband of the donor whose heart is now beating in your body? Cross My Heart, by Megan Collins, is a psychological thriller about love, obsession, and murder.
About The Book:
Rosie Lachlan receives a heart transplant and soon becomes obsessed with Morgan Thorne, the husband and famous author of the donor. Is he obsessed with her too? Or are stranger things happening that can’t be easily explained? Are her past relationships creating a pattern of her obsessive behaviors?
My Thoughts On The Book:
The thought of someone falling in love with the husband of their donor is intriguing. When you or a loved one have a transplanted organ, there’s always a mystery. You wonder about the original owner of the organ. I liked how the story line was centered around this idea.
My favorite genre is a psychological thriller, and I love when authors keep you guessing. I thought I had the mystery of the story figured out early on the in the book. But then it was like Collins said, “Now don’t be silly, I’m a better writer than that!” Each time she threw in a new detail, I kept second-guessing myself. It made me want to keep reading in the end. I was correct from the beginning, but there were twists that kept me guessing.
I enjoyed the character of Rosie; she was a mixture of pathetic and lovable at the same time. She yearned for love so much that it always became an obsession with her. On the other hand, I wanted to slap her silly at times. That’s what made her a fun character.
Other Psychological Books Like It and That I Recommend:
