Paris is described so beautifully and I love how Stephaine Perkins sets the scene I think she describes it in such a way you can visualize.
Anna's friends she meets while at school are the kind of friends you would want for yourself, they are down to earth and so real. I love how she has a separate bond with all of them.
Overall I loved this book, it was a fast and easy read perfect for a weekend read. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Now, back to the book, River and Easton are the perfect pair. I know Paul was it for Easton until the accident, but the quality of Ms. Neuhold's writing is such that I can't imagine a more perfect partner for Easton than River. No, not everything is easy, and yes, I did want to whomp Easton over the head as he kept putting off the big reveal, but at the same time, I found it to be completely understandable.
Easton is a graphic artist, and the use of the colours given throughout the book not only made perfect sense to him, but to me as well. Did I have tears in my eyes when River showed him his graphic novel? Maybe just a few 😉
Change of Heart deals with a very hard subject, the love and loss of the person you thought you'd spend your life with, and Ms. Neuhold worked it perfectly. It could have become a bad love triangle, with River competing with a ghost. Instead, it was River and Easton throughout the book, with Paul being there, almost tangible, but never in the way. I loved the photo frames at the end, but won't say more than that.
There is nothing about this book I didn't enjoy, and I have no hesitation in highly recommending it!
