Cold Hands, Warm Heart by Jill Wolfson

Dani is constantly in and out of the hospital, always getting tests, x-rays, and operations. But what can you expect when you're born with your heart on the wrong side of your body? Dani hopes and prays for a normal life, which can only be achieved by getting a heart transplant. Unfortunately, organ donations are rare, and hearts are even rarer. In comes Amanda, a gymnast with a healthy body, who is declared brain dead after a head injury. Will she be able to save Dani's life?

I thought the concept of this was really good. A girl who needs a heart transplant, and a girl who can give her a heart. This is a lot like an ABC Family Original Movie, Searching For David's Heart, where this girl searches for the person who received her brother's heart in a transplant. I say this because Dani wonders about her heart donor and what kind of person she is. Dani and her mom even do some harmless stalking. Anyway, when I say this concept is good, it's because the book was average. It was okay: not bad, but n0t good either. I don't really know what to say, it was just kind of boring. There were some touching moments, because even though one girl's life ended, another one was saved. I really liked the ending of the book, and I'll admit that it made me cry. But the one problem I had was with Dani's narration. When it was her point of view, she would just ramble and it felt like she was talking to the reader rather than narrating a story. I kept thinking to myself, Ok Dani let's get to the point. So that annoyed me. Unfortunately, Cold Hands, Warm Heart was merely average.
