TEAR JERKER ALERT! Just like Blake's other book, which I reviewed last year during Christmas in a batch of tear jerkers, this one is designed to make you cry.
Sunny St. James lives with her aunt, because her mom didn't want her anymore. Then they discover she needs a new heart, and unbeknownst to Sunny, her aunt contacts her mom to let her know the call has come: there's a new heart waiting for Sunny.
Sunny has a foggy, anesthesia-induced dream that a mermaid visits her in the hospital, but we all know, it's not a mermaid ... it's her mom, who wants back into her life. But can Sunny trust her?
Once she gets the new heart, there's the New Life list to fulfill -- which includes making and keeping -- a new best friend and finding a boy to kiss her. But the funny thing about dying, even in a heart-transplant operation where it's planned and you don't really die, your priorities change.
Sunny kisses a girl and her whole life changes...
A great read.
