Personal Rating: 10/10

400 days ago, Quinn Sullivan's boyfriend, Trent, died in a car accident. In an attempt to cope with the loss, Quinn reaches out to the recipients of Trent's organs--his kidneys, liver, cornea, and of course his heart. Only the recipient of his heart is the only person who never responds to Quinn's letter. So she seeks him out, still looking for a way to find peace with Trent's passing. She goes out of the system and against the rules to track down nineteen-year-old Colton Thomas. She doesn't plan to get to know Colton, or even talk to him, all she wants is to see the person who now has her boyfriends heart, but after they do meet they only grow closer, and Quinn learns to live again. But is it right for her to feel so much for boy who's only alive because the love of her life died?

I absolutely adored this book! This is a definite 10/10 read for me! It was really touching and written in a real believable and heart-wrenching way. It was a story centered on family, overcoming grief, and the importance of living life to its fullest. It was also a really clean read with very little language, which I definitely appreciated. I loved all the characters and the summertime beach setting. I just over all loved it!
