Paper Heart
In this companion to Tornado Brain, a moving tale of loss and healing comes full circle.
Tess has always understood her role in her family. She is supposed to be the “okay” one. The one no one has to worry about. But all Tess does is worry, constantly picking at her fingers every time a new worry arises. Still grieving her best friend’s death, she is consumed by the fear that everything was her fault and her sadness that Colette is never coming back. Worse still, it seems like everyone else has found a way to move on, even her twin sister Frankie. When her mom decides a change of location might do her good, Tess finds herself on an airplane bound for her aunt’s house in small town Wyoming and a summer vacation attending art camp.
Tess thinks she might never be able to move on from losing Colette but her quirky but determined cousin Kennedy and new friend Izzy are determined to help. When Tess becomes convinced that Colette’s ghost might be haunting her, Kennedy and Izzy find new ways for Tess to make peace with the past and finally let go of the grief that has been haunting her heart.

as much as I really enjoyed the first book in this duology I just couldn't connect to the characters in this book, and it felt like this book was written for more the 2020, 2021 time as that is when it was published, considering how much slang and terms it used from that time. maybe I'll come back to this book some other time🤷♀️🤷♀️

I liked this book. Not as good as Tornado Brain because the "mystery" was kinda confusing and it really had no purpose. It felt like it was just tossed in. I kept waiting for something to happen but honestly nothing did. I get where the author was trying to go though. Also, I finished it quickly. Overall, I still enjoyed this book.

Middle grade realistic fiction. This book is the sequel to Tornado Brain and while it can be read alone, I think it would be much more appreciated by someone who read the first book. Tess is still grieving the loss of her best-friend Colette. As she prepares to visit the family cabin this summer, memories of her last summer there with Colette keep swirling in her head. It is also the first time she won't have any of her immediate family at the cabin with her. They chose to stay home and Tess is staying with her aunt, uncle, and two cousins. To try to get her mind off things, Tess is enrolled in art camp. While she has always loved art, this summer she finds it hard to create. In addition, she has been dealing more and more with anxiety. But since Tess' twin sister Frankie (protagonist of Tornado Brain) is both ADD and on the autism spectrum, Tess doesn't feel like her family has energy for her mental health needs. A summer away brings its own challenges and realizations as Tess claims her space away from Frankie and Colette.
This is a wonderful book about finding ones voice and strength. Tess finds herself with different people-- and they worry about her bloody chewed-up fingers like her mother hasn't. Her new classmates at art camp realize pretty quickly that Tess is going through some stuff, and most of them rise up to support her through it. Tess discovers that it's okay to not be okay, and that you can still be yourself and make friends even when happiness seems out of reach. This book has a great supporting cast. The ending and the epilogue give the reader hope that Tess has progressed in her journey and that her next summer at camp will have a very different feel to it.

Another hit by Cat Patrick. In this one, we get to spend time with Tess and Frankie again, this time in Pinedale, WY. If you know that gorgeous jewel of a mountain town at all, you’ll recognize this book as a love letter to it and its people.
I really like the way Patrick emphasizes the need for good communication in this story. It comes out in so many of the threads, although I don’t want to spoil the plot by saying more. And her description of Tess’s grief is heartbreakingly accurate, while acknowledging that everyone grieves differently.
I also love a good mystery, and Patrick kept me guessing until the end.
Whether it’s for the clearly delineated and engaging characters (Jackie, amIright?!), the vividly drawn scenery (Log Cabin Motel!), or the perfect little cherries she puts on the sundaes of her plots, Patrick always keeps me coming back for more.
I’m dying to know what Frankie and Tess get up to next!

The book was really great. But I feel like we could've gone with a different name! Not only is Paper Heart common but it also feels like it connects to one short piece of this long story. Overall I enjoyed and found myself feeling for Tess

My 11 year old daughter and I listened to the audiobook together. We enjoyed listening to this book and had different discussions as events unfolded. Paper Heart read well on its own, we did not know about Tornado Brain.

Oh, wow, I loved this book. I'm sitting here basking in the happy afterglow of having just finished it, and I feel more and more fuzzies over it the more I think about it.
Tess is so very very real. As the "easy kid" in my own family and as someone who's sometimes struck by random anxieties I know perfectly well are ridiculous, her story resonated deeply. We all have particular ways we're likely to crumple in the face of trauma... (To extend the book's metaphor... we all have places where our hearts start out a little thinner... and those places are the first to tear when crumpled) and while I haven't really had to face that in my own life, I suspect my crumpling would look a lot like Tess's.
I liked Tornado Brain, but it never quite sucked me in (although maybe partially because I saw this book first, and consequently knew how Tornado Brain ended...). This book, though, absolutely did. I think part of it may have just been that this book was more relatable to me - because on a more objective level, Tornado Brain is faster paced, more suspenseful, and has a more distinctive narrative voice. But I'm more into slow-burn deeply-emotional character-driven novels... and this book really dived into those characteristics (which were still there in Tornado Brain, but not as strongly). At the same time, I think reading Tornado Brain first really gave me a deeper appreciation for this novel. It established relationships that are important to this novel but aren't super directly explored here. Knowing the backdrop of Tess's relationships with Colette, Frankie, and her mom allowed her struggles with those relationships to hit home much more deeply. I also loved having the background insight into Frankie's mind. Of the two, she's the sister who's a little harder to understand from the outside, and seeing her perspective first really helps with understanding her actions within Paper Hearts, especially since she only appears in brief chunks in the latter. I also loved seeing how Tess's relationship with Frankie bled into her relationship with Jake (another character who appears to be on the spectrum). On its own, I think I would rate Tornado Brain 4 stars, but as a duology with Paper Heart, they get 5+++.
And oh, Izzy! Middle school romance generally isn't my favorite, but this was super sweet and pretty age appropriate. Izzy is so genuinely tender and understanding toward Tess, even as he's charmingly awkward.
The one thing that did bother me a bit was the way that not forgiving was portrayed as okay or even good. I think part of it might be more an issue of defining forgiveness - Tess does specifically clarify that she doesn't hate her, so the point seems to be more that Tess is refusing to say that her actions were okay. But I think that's exactly what forgiveness is - saying that an action wasn't okay, but also that you're not going to hold it against the person. But that also doesn't have to mean allowing them to continue hurting you. Even if you do define forgiveness as requiring reconciliation, I think it's unhelpful to portray that as actively negative - reconciliation is not always required, but it can be a very strong and generous thing to do in the right situation. But Tess is actively discouraged from offering forgiveness, and we seem to be supposed to laud her for standing strong and not doing so.
I wish there was more to this lovely book, but also I think this is probably exactly the right place to leave Frankie and Tess. AHHHHH <3

Paper Heart is a companion novel to the author’s other book, Tornado Brain. When I first picked up this novel, I did not realize there was a companion, so I ended up reading it as a standalone. While everything made enough sense, I always have that curiosity if I would have different thoughts if I had read both. There is some context and background that was missing from reading this as a standalone, but there were also enough pieces where I could put enough together to gain an overall understanding. This also isn’t my usual genre as the target audience is more middle grade compared to the young adult/new adult that I usually read. This story follows Tess who has random anxieties that she deals with and is the self-declared “okay” one of the family. This part is very relatable as there are millions of people that feel this way no matter their age where they feel they must deal with things in a certain way based on expectations. As she is going through a lot, including grieving for her best friend, Colette’s, death, Tess ends up going to an art camp in Wyoming while staying at her aunt’s house.
While in Wyoming, Tess meets Izzy and the two share a sweet connection. The two characters have cute chemistry, and I liked how their relationship developed. It was written very well for the age group as there are many novels that either try to rush the relationship or they make it too mature or even too childish to actually fit the actions of a real demographic. While not all real people in a certain age bracket act alike, it is nice when novels attempt to try and fit within some realistic scenarios. Additionally, I felt that her anxiety-rep felt realistic for someone her age as I have anxiety, too, it felt well balanced and nicely written. The entire story was very low stakes and an easy read. Since this is not my usual genre, it was difficult to tell how much exploration of different details should have been included or not. For me, I prefer a lot more exploration of elements, but, at the same time, it seemed to fit the story and genre well. Overall, this was a nice sweet easy read.

I received an electronic ARC from PENGUIN GROUP Penguin Young Readers Group through NetGalley.
Companion novel to Tornado Brain.
Powerful story told from the other sister's perspective as she copes with the aftermath of her best friend's death. Tess has gone back to Wyoming with her aunt, uncle and cousins for the summer. She's feeling lost and forgotten and like the only person still grieving for Colette. Readers see the serious anxiety and negative thoughts she copes with as she lets new people into her life and wrestles with the "mean voice" she hears in her head. They also see her face fears and take back some control of her life. Frankie is part of the story through calls, texts and video chats and the love between the two is obvious though they each bring their own anxieties to the relationship.
Patrick shows a tender touch as she tackles major issues for this age group. She invites readers to stand with her characters and see the world as they see it. From the flashback opening to the Epilogue, readers are invited to be part of the action and treasure memories and experiences. Patrick offers them the opportunity to heal along with Tess and Frankie.

Overall a solid young adult novel!
Paper heart is the sequel to Tornado Brain, and while it can be read and understood as a stand alone novel, I think reading Tornado Brain first is better for context and background information.
The characters in the book are genuine and realistic. It doesn't feel like they are written by somebody else, it just feels like they exist. They're not perfect but that's completely okay, because nobody is. A big theme of this book is accepting and communicating exactly that.
I really like how Anxiety is addressed in this book, as it is something I struggled with as a young kid, and that statistically, many others struggle with too. It's hard to deal with, manage, and explain to others, and this book helps with that in a way. It also shows that you are not alone in your struggles, which is something that is very important for young adults to know.
I think this book is a good read for both young and old readers alike. It is wholesome, makes you feel warm after, and addresses struggles you may have experienced yourself. Give Paper Heart a read, but go for Tornado Brain first if you can!

I really like the characters in this book (as well as in Tornado Brain). Tess is finding it very hard to deal with her best friend Colette's death. Her sister seems to be coping so much better. Why is that? Then Tess starts seeing a man in a yellow scarf following her....the same as the ghost story she told Colette and no one else. Messages get left in odd places that could only be from Colette. What is happening? Is her friend trying to contact her from beyond? or is she just going crazy? She's anxious and tense enough already without these added stressors. She's afraid of everything. While staying with her aunt and uncle she goes to a summer camp for art. Some of the kids are mean but she does make a few friends, especially Izzy who gives her the space she needs but is always there for her when needed. This book deals with how to cope with grief and loss which is different for everyone. There are acts of violence and intolerance among the young teens as well as caring and love. Very nice story.

Tess has always been a worrier, and it only gets worse after her best friend Collette dies. Going back with her aunt and uncle to their cabin, Tess has to battle the mean voice in her head while struggling with the grief. She tries to pour it into her art at the art camp she's in for the summer, but the worry overtakes her and she can't do anything it feels. This was a challenging read because you do get stuck in Tess's head and it does get overwhelming. She doesn't feel like she has support of her mom, or her twin sister, and constantly thinks people are staring at her. I did enjoy how her description of anxiety was "fairies on her spine" which feels accurate. Slowly, Tess lets people into her world and starts sharing what she's really feeling. I liked the ending but it doesn't feel fully resolved. I would have liked more between Tess and her mom. Either way, a good description of grief and how everyone has a different journey.

Tess is having a hard time dealing with the loss of her best friend. Spending the summer with her relatives, Tess is attending an art camp at the library. Having always had a hard time making friends, Tess is worried her grief will overwhelm her or she will be unable to make more friends. Meanwhile, Tess starts seeing different people and things related to the horror story she told her friend last year. Could her friend be haunting her? Will she be able to forgive herself? Recommended for libraries where realistic fiction, books dealing with grief, and friendship stories are popular. 4 stars, Grades 4 to 7.

This was a very accurate depiction of anxiety, and I really think it should be in school libraries for the 9-12 age range. There is minor self-harm (chewing fingernails/cuticles) and a description of Tess almost harming herself more seriously (hidden for TW: ), but it's very sensitively handled.
I really hope Cat Patrick continues writing stories like this for the middle-grade crowd. She has a knack for writing characters that have difficulties and differences (anxiety in Tess's case, autism spectrum disorders in Frankie's, which is the focus of her previous book Tornado Brain) without making them objects of pity.

Tess is still struggling over the death of her best friend Colette. She takes the opportunity to spend the summer at her Aunt's and Uncle's cabin where she can attend an art camp in town. The break from everything at home, including her twin sister Frankie, who is handling her emotions much better than Tess is, might be just what she needs. But, while art camp is fun, and she meets a nice boy, Tess feels like Colette may be haunting her.
I loved the idea of Paper Hearts, how if you crumple them, you can't get the creases out - that mean words can do that to actual hearts. Paper Hearts was engaging in a different way than Tornado Brain. Not as frantic, and Paper Hearts has a romance!

This is a good companion book to Tornado brain. It features Tess, Frankie's twin, as she goes to stay at her aunts house and art camp. Memories of being there with her friend, Collette, make it hard for her to make friends at first. Her severe anxiety and a ghost story has her looking over her shoulder. This book moves slowly(lots of why me?) until Tess starts to confront why she is so stuck and tells her side of things. The ending is not "happy" , but satisfying. I like that she was able to understood by others and found her confidence.

terrific middle grade about Tess who is attending an art camp while staying in the family vacation cabin. Usually this would be a wonderful thing, but everything reminds her of her best friend Colette who had been with her last summer but has since died in a tragic accident. This definitely skews to the older side of middle grade, with Tess struggling with coping with grief by using self harm and the adults in her life appearing to give her space but from this adult's eyes I wish some adult in Tess's life had tried to reach her. By the end of the book, it seems like this is happening.

Twins Tess and Frankie have lost their best friend, Colette. Tess gets shuttled off with her cousin for the summer, while her autistic sister Frankie gets to stay home. Tess is completely lost and now she doesn't even have her sister around, even if Frankie is a pain.
This books deals nicely with the range of emotions when you lose someone important in your life. Especially hard for Tweens as they haven't dealt with death, yet.
Tess does get befriended by some caring and understanding summer friends, which easies her anxiety. But still, it's not the same without Colette.

I loved TORNADO BRAIN so I think my expectations were so high. Tess was clearly depressed and anxious and it was so hard to believe that her mom would not have taken her to see a therapist since Frankie already saw one. The “mystery” part of this book was unconvincing and rather than feeling mysterious, it felt hysterical. Most of the time it seemed like Tess was having a nervous breakdown. The beginning romance with Izzy was sweet. I thought the story picked up when Frankie came to WY.

Tess just lost her best friend. She going to Wyoming with her aunt and uncle to spend the summer. Tess has to figure out how to deal with the grief and anxiety of losing her best friend along with a little mystery. This story deals with so many different emotions like grief, anxiety, and being a sibling of someone with autism. This book takes place not long after the book “Tornado Brain.” This was such a great book and will be added to my list of recommendations for my students.
November 15, 2022
I loved Tornado Brain even though it absolutely ripped my heart out and when I heard there was a companion novel, I knew I had to read it. I really love how Cat Patrick was able to tell two stories of grief from two very different sisters' points of views. This book will break your heart, but will also warm and heal it right back up. Thank you to G. P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers for sharing a copy with me through NetGalley. I highly recommend.

loved this one. it was serious at times but also absolutely adorable at others. definitely made way better by having read tornado brain but i think you could read this on it’s own too. but you should read tornado brain first. i love tess and izzy and frankie and want to read every book this author writes now.

Great companion story to Tornado Brain. It was good to hear Tess's side of things.
Story explores the different ways people handle grief and losing a friend.

I love the ending. So satisfactory. It really shows Tess's change, for the better. An amazing story about dealing with grief and finding new ways to strive.

I thought it did a pretty good job of showing the struggles of an anxiety-ridden tween dealing with the death of her best friend. Also liked that art ended up being therapeutic for her.

Oh my heart...a sweet story
