Emma Bell’s Reviews > Things We Know by Heart > Status Update

I just realize that this means Quinn’s heart has always been connected to Trent/Colton’s. She feels survivors guilt. She thinks being happy is a betrayal to the one she lost. She’s so drawn to him and vice versa.

She went with Colton on his kayak ride.. it was so sweet she trusts him a lot right now but she mentioned a heart and the guilt crept back in

She WILL go back to the beach she has to. It seems like her recent interaction with Colton is really all she needed to start moving on… she started looking at the new sunflower as a sign from Trent to move on and she already seems.. happier? I guess? more sure of herself? Idk but she seems different in a good way

I’m in shock. THE SUNFLOWER. She’s taking it as a sign???? YESSS PLEASE! Start of the chapter said something about how the heart’s electromagnetic energy transfers between people when touching or standing close.. literal scientific proof of sparks flying. This is a random read, one I’ve never heard of and it makes me do that dramatic fake scream thing. It’s that good.. it’s that intense.

It seems Quinn’s parents are really protective and supportive but are getting impatient with her healing. I honestly don’t blame them… it’s only been a year since but I feel like that’s enough time to not be locked up feeling down every waking hour

Colton referring to Quinn as a friend immediately is so cute. The end of their interactions this chapter was really sad honestly. The one doctor telling her to be careful with his heart is a little overwhelming ;( Also it’s like you can feel is smile through the pages.

She feels less alone immediately after she lefts him drive. That’s about all I’ve got for this chapter tbh

The quote for this chapter was from an article saying that organ recipients sometimes feel like they know people that the organ donor knew. I found that VERY interesting. So far the book is really well written but the chapters are SOO short. Anyway, this Colton guy still seems nice but also sort of awkward or atleast anxious?? Idrk. Also she just got in a small car wreck??

A little predictable so far, but cute. Quinn is a very anxious person. She makes a very interesting inquiry about how she could’ve passed Colton at any point in time and not realized it. Chris seems like a very random character… he’s nice though so I’m not mad. Colton also seems nice but I’m not entirely sure yet. (We just met him)

So far this book is formatted in a slightly new way, with quotes before the start of each chapter. The first chapter was short so there isn’t much to say. Quinn is still REALLY attached to Trent but he did only pass 400 days ago. She’s still healing and is confused why the heart recipient hasn’t reached out.
