"Heartbeat" by Elizabeth Scott (244 pages)

Emma’s life completely changes after the sudden death of her pregnant mother. She becomes a failing student and ends all interactions she previously had with her stepdad, Dan, because of a decision he made.  Without consulting Emma, Dan decided to keep her mom’s body functioning with the help of machines in order to keep the unborn baby alive. Although her best friend Olivia is always there to support her, Emma leans toward someone who is highly frowned upon in their city, Caleb Harrison. This bad-boy easily relates to some of the feelings Emma has and they start to bond over their experiences. Not only does Caleb connect with Emma, but he helps her realize what she needs to do in order to be happy again.

The progress Emma and Caleb make as individuals gives you a sense that people can turn their lives around when they’re in horrible situations. This book made me realize that things happen extremely quickly and that I need to take advantage of opportunities because they might only happen once.
