Read my spoiler-free review and more about the book on my blog, illbefinealone reads.


How to Build a Heart is an absolutely beautiful story about finding your place.
The writing seemed so sincere, and it flowed really well. I really enjoyed how it was paced, it kept the story entertaining and dynamic. The dialogue was amazingly written as well, it had really good back and forth between the characters and it wasn’t dull as it sometimes can be.
On the subject of the characters, they were well-developed and brought to the page in such a convincing fashion. They were really easy to connect to, especially Izzy. Feeling like an outsider is a common thing teenage girls deal with, and I feel like that was exactly why she resonated with me. She brought me right back to my high school days.
All in all, How to Build a Heart is wonderful read that had me hooked from the beginning. I recommend it.
