The Curious Heart of Ailsa Rae by Stephanie Butland

4.0

Stephanie Butland’s novel is one of those books that left me better than I was before reading it.

Her new novel is such a heartwarming and sweet story. I hadn’t read any book about a woman who got a heart transplant until Ailsa’s story and, throughout the narration, it was nice to observe how Ailsa faces her new life and its possibilities and challenges.

For Ailsa, the heart transplant means to finally take control of her life after many years of living in a bubble. Now she finally starts to make her own choices and opens her life to new experiences and relationships, and with that, she shines her light.

I found so interesting reading about Ailsa’s growth through Stephanie’s narrative and I definitely looking forward to her other books.
