I thought it was super cute how June woke up super early and made little drawings for her family it broke my heart when they threw it away
"What has mom told you about clutter"
"We don't need it"
You can June is a outcast at her school when Hallie falls and gives her attuide for trying to help
In this book the hostipal offers heart removal which alot of people got which makes them treat people without care and switches up their whole personality 
June's parents,neighbors  and friends all did it and now June is alone
"We won't change  we'll  always be friends" 
Bailey and ellie said when June brought up if they removed their hearts they'd be different 

June and her sisters art blew my mind I love the graphics  in this book
When June's sister Maya removed her heart June  was alone she was the only one still with her heart
Junes  parents schedule her a appointment  to remove her heart but June doesn't  want that to happen so she skips  her appointment  and says she'll  pretend to
Be heartless
June meets max and he's overly caring June thinks theres something  off about him thats different  from everyone else
Max wants to feel again he gets little twinges and it makes him feel again but he doesn't  know what to do as there's no research  if about if after your heart gets removed if it's reversiable.

Max and June have a plan to go to the tabularium  to look for the heart file of the heart June found then maxes  so they can figure out how to get June's sister and maxes hearts to feel again
I'm excited  to see if this becomes either a long friendship or relationship 
This book is flying through I can't put it down
 The heart that June found ended up being maxes they went to the tabularium  and found maxes file June didn't  think it was maxes originally 

"We'll I care about you, and I dont want to make you sad"
Max wanted June to use his heart to bring back Maya but June's too scared it'll make max lose all his feeling so June has a plan to figure out another way to bring back maya.
Max collapses and it worries June so they take max to the hostipal  max was worried they'd  numb him again but June has his heart so they can't do that
June doesn't show up for dinner and Maya starts to feel again
June "so what's the first thing you'll do when you get your heart back?"
Max "honestly I want to learn more about anatomy  I think its  fascinating"

The heart thief ended up being the Scientist her assistant  was in the same kind of jars the hearts were in 
June "did you kill him"
The Scientist "no. Yes I mean... I loved him"


×No heart can be replanted the procedure  is permanent.×
June sees Maya and Maya is experiancing what  max was but the doctors took maya away for pain management "until the end"

"But before I do this I have to tell you I love you too" I'm gonna scream this is so cute
My hearts so happy the procedure  of spiliting June's heart saved max and Maya and June's still alive and THEY ALL CAN FEEL!! And June grew a whole new heart!
The end where they showed the heart replacement greenhouse was so beautiful 

I really want a 2nd book so I can know if June and max ended up together
