The Donor is an engaging and well written thriller packed full of twists and turns that cannot be predicted. With the plot twist at the end, Mackintosh could write a sequel and I would most definitely pick it up.
I really appreciated the information on the importance of being an organ donor woven throughout the storyline as it is such a vital service and everyone should be aware of the importance and how to register.

The story follows Meg, a teenager who has been saved my a heart transplant, and her blossoming relationship between her and Karen, the mother of the boy that donated his heart that she now has. It is told from the point of view of Lizzie, Meg’s mother, who has a feeling that something isn’t right from the start.
Definitely not where I thought it was going, and I really enjoyed the book. It’s also one that’s made me think about organ donation, knowing someone could benefit from my organs when I die. The only thing I would wish for is that it was longer than its 101 pages! I could easily read more about Lizzie and Meg and even Karen!
