This love story makes for a quick read. My Heartbeat by Garret Freymann-Weyers centers around Ellen and her love for her brother Link and his best friend James. Ellen is content with her relationship with Link and James and even has a crush on James. Everything is fine until the idea that Link and James may be more than friends comes up. Ellen finds herself searching for answers that are not easy to come by.
Freymann-Weyer has a wonderful writing style that draws you right into the story. I found myself invested in the characters. The story is messy and I appreciate that. If you are looking for a cookie cutter story and ending then this novel may not be for you. This is one young adult novel that I believe can appeal across the board. It reminded me of how confusing and tragically beautiful adolescence can be. I would be interested in reading more from Freymann-Weyer in the future.
