Catherine Ryan Hyde - Second Hand heart

5th Jan - 10th Jan 
I have read a fair few of what CRH has written - full Amazon lis here - and this was no exception, eventually.  The story is written by Vida the heart recipient and Richard the husband of the donor, his wife Lorrie who was killed in a car crash.  On receiving the heart and meeting Richard Vida feels she is in love with him and starts having memories that can't be hers, but are in fact Lorries.  If you haven't just tutted and clicked to another blog then you will probably enjoy this.  It's not designed to be challenging or deep but it is thought provoking. Would you accept a donor organ if you thought doing so might give you some of the traits of the donor, or if not doing so in spite of this would mean you would die?  The Amazon reviewers and I agree on this one, nothing earth shattering but a nice read. Would recommend Love in the Present Tense as my all time absolute must read of hers btw.
