I picked this up because it was on offer and it sounded a bit different. I can safely say I was not a fan. At first I ended up really confused because the names in the synopsis didn't match the names of the couples in the story. It does make sense further on in the book though. There were also some continuity errors and the author makes out that smoking weed is one of the worst things in the world. There are shady drug dealers and even withdrawal symptoms.

Basically Jacob gets a life saving heart transplant and morphs into a different person. He goes from being the sweet, sensible son of a reverend to a violent man who drinks too much, smokes too much weed and abuses his girlfriend. The plot is based on cellular memory, meaning that the recipient takes on the personality of the donor which is an interesting topic. However, it moved into ridiculous when it made out that it could result in your fingerprints changing.

I found the book super predictable and pretty boring. Nothing majorly exciting happens. I also didn't find any of the characters likeable. We don't really know what Jacob was like pre transplant so it's hard to compare and his parents just irritated me. The ending was also a bit far fetched. I kept reading wondering if it was going anywhere but it didn't. I just can't seem to give up on a book without finishing it.
