A review by nerdosaurus1998
The Curious Heart of Ailsa Rae by Stephanie Butland
5.0
This book was the story of a girl finding herself after a life time of heart problems originating from birth.
Her adventures were insipiring and kinda make me want to take up Tango lessons. It was a sweet book with a realistic mother/daughter relationship and how people deal with illness, both surviving through it, as well as living with someone who is terminally ill.
I think the only thing I didn't really like about the book is including another characte in Ailsa's past that also had to have a transplant when Ailsa needed one too, and her being the winner, in a sense. It didn't add too much to the story, some of the charity work she does in relation to him could just be credited to generic transplant charities. It gives her a more rounded character, I guess, but that's kinda it.
