Jennifer Hiller never disappoints, and Jar of Hearts is no exception.


The story follows three best friends:  one becomes a cop, one is murdered, and the third ends up in prison for her role in her best friends death.


Told through a mix of past and present-day scenes, the narrative picks up when the main character is released from prison. Jar of Hearts is a gripping thriller with a deeply realistic plot that kept me hooked, eager to see how everything would unfold.


This book does come with some trigger warnings, so I recommend checking those before diving in.
