My Heartbeat Audiobook

" this book left me completely baffled. i feel like parts of this book should have been explained more, for me at least. i wanted to know what would happen to link and james and as much as i loved ellen i really didn't appreciate how she played her part in this book. i know she couldn't and wouldn't interfere with link's personal life but she should have at least backed off of james. "

" A very real and touching read, I thought the narrator's voice was spot on and I was absorbed from the first page. For a slim book, it packs a lot in. It was "very YA" (in a good way). "

" God, I love this book. I read it back when I didn't really understand why some people had such problems with and difficulties accepting homosexuality, and this story helped me a lot. Even now, i read it and am struck anew by the subtle emotions. "

" This was a quick read.I liked that the book was told through the sister and how she saw realtionships with her family. I had to keep remembering like with all YA books that the main charecters are teens and are still finding their way in life. They are still trying to figure things out and like all of us will grow up still not knowing as much as we think. "

" My husband and I both liked this book. It's about relationships between 3 NYC teens--a girl and her brother, and their male friend. "

" This book is about love conflict of a girl between two boys. "

" its alright. it discusses things that are generally not talked about in depth which made me both sortof uncomfortable and interested. i dont really know if i liked it or not... but its very addicting... "

" This book way amazing! I absolutely loved it! I wish there was more to it! "

" Sweet, deep without being heavy, raises questions but never preachy. Warm and comforting. This book is like music to me. "

" I fell in immediate love with this book. And with Freymann-Weyr. "

" this is a very confusing book... "

" Good for its genre (LGBT teen lit), but definitely doesn't transcend that. Still, it feels much realer than other efforts in the genre. "

" Excellent book for explaining gender fluidity. Female narrator. Note that it is YA-- adult characters are not well developed. "

" I had higher expectations, I guess. It felt too short, like only the beginning of an idea. It was cute and well-written but I was waiting for a more intriguing plot to come out of it, and the plot never emerged for me. Okay, but not great in my opinion. "

" Lovely coming of age story with a twist. Fourteen-year-old Ellen loves her brother Link and his best friend James. Link and James are very close and have a complex relationship that may or may not be true love. The working out of all this is very interesting and well-told. "

" This is one of the books that would tell you to not judge a book by its cover. When a friend of mine lent it to me a few years ago, I thought that it was a children's book but then I went ahead and started reading it. I was hooked. It is beautifully written. Very powerful. Real. "
