Jar of Hearts is a gripping thriller that kept me hooked from start to finish. Jennifer Hillier masterfully weaves a dark, twist-filled story that is as shocking as it is compelling. The plot’s turns are unpredictable and satisfying, making it impossible to put down.

That said, I’d caution readers: this book comes with a host of trigger warnings—it’s intense and not for the faint of heart.

I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator did a fantastic job bringing the characters and the suspense to life, enhancing the experience. If you’re a fan of dark, edgy thrillers and can handle the content, this one is a must-read (or listen)!

This book kept me hooked and coming back from the very beginning. There are some heavy scenes and I would advise reading any trigger warnings before reading this book, but I would definitely recommend it! It was a great thriller and the twist was a good one!! If you like psychological thrillers, this book is for you!

This would have been a 5 star read if the epilogue would have been -slightly- more flushed out. So SO good. A heart pounding, gut wrenching look into the wrong side of "coming of age" and how our past will always come back to haunt us.

This book had promise but I didn’t enjoy any part of this book. Trigger warnings for: sa, child murder, attempted incest. 
The characters are flawed and really bad people. Near the end it feels like the author tries to change the readers sympathies by making the murderer more caring. It feels very against the information we've been given up to that point.
