Alive by Chandler BakerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Summary:
Stella Cross's heart is poisoned. After years on the transplant waiting list, she's running out of hope that she'll ever see her eighteenth birthday. Then, miraculously, Stella receives the transplant she needs to survive.
Determined to embrace everything she came so close to losing, Stella throws herself into her new life. But her recovery is marred with strange side effects: Nightmares. Hallucinations. A recurring pain that flares every day at the exact same moment. Then Stella meets Levi Zin, the new boy on everyone's radar at her Seattle prep school. Stella has never felt more drawn to anyone in her life, and soon she and Levi can barely stand to be apart.
Stella is convinced that Levi is her soul mate. Why else would she literally ache for him when they are apart?
After all, the heart never lies...does it?
My Honest Opinion:
So the beginning of this book started off really slow. It was good but not great. It was basically what you would think a heart transplant person would go through. Which was ok for me. I was thinking the whole time I would give this 3 stars because it wasn't perfect at first. Then when you get to the middle you are like oh wow, this picked up some. It started reeling you in. So it became a lot better of a story. But by the ending it started getting creepy. I ended up putting the book down one night because I am not a scary book person. So I had to pick it up again during the daytime. I wasn't expecting the creepiness of it at all. It took a crazy turn that I wasn't expecting. That is what made the book so much better. It was a really good story. I would recommend it because its not what your expecting out of a heart transplant story and that's what makes it different.
As for characters, the character of Stella Cross and Henry. Yes I was rooting for them. They were such great friends. So I wanted them to be together. They enjoyed so much of the same movies. It was great. Levi Zin didn't really care for him much. But he was a good character as far as he goes.
This was a great story that alot of young adult people will love. You should definitely give it a try.
