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

I wish the book wasn’t over. I really do. This book cut me really deep for a book I’d never heard of before. Her dad is fine, she went to explain the full truth to Colton and thought he was dead. Shelby found her and told her she couldn’t hate her though she knows the whole story and that Colt wanted to see her so she went and they understood each other better than ever. True soulmates more so “heart mates”

I’m in utter shock. I knew he’d be mad when she told him the truth but I wasn’t expecting it to happen in a hospital waiting room after something happened to her dad… after they created all of the soul ties possible, with the letter that started it all in his hands and end with him telling her to forget him because he never should’ve known her at all!! AHHHH Kms

I truly feel like I relate to Quinn on a deep level minus the tragedy aspect of her life “You trust easy, but questions seem like they scare you, which means… You have things you don’t want to talk about’” I just feel like this is REALLY me. Colton and Quinn share the same struggles on different levels and Quinn is truly herself with him. It’s refreshing to read about.

The beginning of one of the chapters confirmed that daydreaming isn’t wrong or bad for your heart so long as you don’t settle anyway. She’s definitely started healing. She’s so torn about Colton though and I totally get it. I’m just reading about it and can’t come up with a solution that’s entirely right. She needs to tell him but he’ll probably get upset and she’ll hurt their relationship.

They both enjoyed the beach and didn’t want to say goodbye but they did ofc. Gran reminds Quinn where she came from and how much better she’s doing. They could all tell that Colton changed her for the better without knowing he exists

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

So so cute. She went back to him with a plate of brownies (knowing they were his favorite that little creep) and Colton smiled and somehow convinced her to spend the day together at the beach!! He seems really into her despite how weird she’s been. I almost bet he likes her so much because she “doesnt” know about his heart issue

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.
