ARC Netgalley: Losing Heart by Donna Brown

My rating: 4 stars

Synopsis from GR:

 "I hate you. I hate you with all of Sylvia's heart."

 
Helen has waited for months for the heart that will save her life. After reaching out to the grieving mother of her donor heart, Helen realises that a second chance comes at a price. The price, she soon realises, is much steeper than she'd ever have chosen to pay. 
There's more than one way to break a heart. There's more than one way to destroy a life...

Freaky
Creepy
Disturbing

That's the first thing that come to mind when I try to review this book.
Which is not the same as saying I didn't like it...I did! I liked it exactly for the emotions and feelings - even if negative - it aroused.
Helen, the main character, is not a likeable woman but in the long run it's impossible not to feel sympathy for her situation: she's pretty much alone in a war against a woman that apparently is "perfect" and that is way better than her in awakening compassion and pity. I sure took my time in taking her part.

Donna Brown's Losing Heart reminds me a little of Karin Slaughter's books and that's a style I like very much.
At last, I'd like to thank the author for the chance to read her story through NetGalley and I hope she appreciates my honest review.
