Wow! This was my first Megan Collins book and WILL NOT be my last. I read a lot of books, and it gets harder and harder to impress me. I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. I didn't want to do anything else except figure out what the heck was happening?! Unreliable narrator who you love & hate at the same time, callling out toxic masculinity, and a commentary on how women are perceived by men and even other women for being "too much" aka wanting to be loved. I loved that there were more layers to this book than the crazy plot twists, I even shed a tear or two. All around a great read if you want something to devour and enjoy a little convoluted (in a good way) story. I already got a friend to pre-order this. :D

Thank you NetGalley & Megan Collins for the advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest review!

I really loved this book! It was such a unique story. I read a lot of thriller/mystery and this was one of a kind. And several times I thought I had it figured out buy I was wrong! Loved that it kept me guessing the whole time

The book is full of major twists and turns. First it is him, he did it. Then it is her but how can that be? Then someone copying her. But why? the final twist is a shocker. Loved all the twists, turns and odd relationships. Was he truly worth all this? One I won't soon forget!

This was a fun, twisty thriller that will keep you guessing until the end. While the plot was fast-paced, I took off one star because I didn't like the main character. Even after all of the stuff that she went through throughout the book, she went back to being the same needy individual at the end. Did she not learn anything after her crazy ordeal?

This book has it all, it was a book I couldn't put down until the last page and I share I shed a tear when I realized there wasn't anymore

When dealing with immense pain sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s reality and what’s not. After dealing with a “broken heart” and needing a heart transplant, Rosie thinks she has found true love again but has she?

We love a good plot twist and that’s what Cross My Heart gives you! I love it when I guess the plot wrong. The book was well written, I did struggle in the beginning with the longer chapters but once in a rhythm, I couldn’t put the book down.

Thank you Megan Collin’s for another good book! Can’t wait to read more!

3.5 stars. I enjoyed it and I liked how at one point I had no idea what was going on, because it made me eager to read more.

This book was honestly such a suspense I found myself unable to stop and binged it in one sitting. The amount of twists and turns was jaw dropping and it is not your average suspense where you can predict the outcome. The plot was so original and the amount of character development and attention to small details was incredible. I’m looking forward to reading other books by Megan Collins! This is definitely a must read to start the new year with once released 💕

Cross My Heart by Megan Collins is a heart pounding, pulse racing read. The format of this was so captivating and I loved going between the POV, the journal entries and the emails. The character development was nuanced and the ride this book took me on was great. Collins never disappoints and her writing only gets stronger with each book.

Rosie works at her parents bridal dress shop, despite her recent heartbreak. Literally. shortly after getting dumped in her wedding dress, she had a near death experience after being diagnosed with cardiomyopathy. after receiving a heart transplant, her bff nina, a nurse in the ER, tells her she suspects her heart came from hometown best selling author Morgan Thorne’s wife, Daphne.

Rosie has always been one to fall hard and fast. after reaching out to her donor’s family via DonorConnect, Rosie starts to feel a connection to Morgan via their messaging. maybe Daphne’s heart is destined to stay with Morgan, just via her now? but as she tries to find more information on her new crush, she finds some unpleasant comments online… could Morgan be behind his wife’s death?

I found the story captivating and there was a couple twists I did not see coming. overall the ending was ehhh for me. also one of my biggest pet peeves is when the explanation is just word vomited at the end.

thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This was quite the ride! I think as far as thrillers go this is going to be an EXCELLENT start to 2025. I love an unreliable narrator, and there was so many plot twists that it was hard to keep up which made it all the more enjoyable. Also this was totally Taylor Swift coded (if you’re into that sort of thing).

Thanks to NetGalley and Atria for the ARC of this book. This will be out in January 2025!

If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right
Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'll be usin' for the rest of my life”

You enjoy this song? Then you will definitely enjoy this book! Wow wow wow! This leads you right on an insane rollercoaster of emotions from the very first chapter! You keep guessing and guessing!

I absolutely loved this! I loved the characters. I loved the mystery! It was such an incredible story!

this was a fun thriller! I had an idea of the ending through the book but it also kept me second guessing myself. I enjoyed this one!

I read this on a camping trip which was so fun for a slightly spooky vibe 🏕️

This book kept me up way past my bedtime. I got sucked into the story and couldn't put it down. A few times I thought I had everything figured out, just to be proven wrong. Highly enjoyed.

Another unputdownable read by Megan Collins!!! This is a book with an engaging story and incredibly well developed characters. I highly recommend.

What a wild ride. Just when I thought I had figured it all out, I was thrown in the complete opposite direction. I found myself wanting to jump in the book and stop the FMC so many times, all because the writer made her nonsense somehow endearing that you just wanted to help her.

Everyone is slightly unhinged in their own way and I just couldn’t put it down.

Thank you to Atria and Netgalley for the ARC. I will be reading everything from Megan Collins.

I can’t explain how much I loved this book! It was equal parts crazy and believable, it had me shaking my head in shock so much and flipping pages like a fiend!

I enjoyed the crazy pot and build of characters of this book and the ending! I had no inkling of that coming! What a great read!
Thank you NetGalley and Atria books for this Arc!

I loved this book. The concept is very unique, so I was immediately drawn in. And Collins’ writing is— as always— stellar. I could also empathize with the main character, even though she just kept getting herself in deeper and deeper. All around, I really enjoyed this one! Thank you to the author and publisher.

Megan Collins always writes books that hold my interest, and this one was no different. The story was engaging and easy to read, and the characters were well developed. If you like Collins’ other books, you’ll love this one too. Highly recommend!

If a book features a pathetic female lead character, I am always, always, always going to give the book a bad review. There was so much cringey pathetic behavior by the main character that it was difficult to stomach and continue reading. Women are not all naive or stupid or cringey Taylor Swift fans! I wish female authors would STOP writing these cringey, weak and pathetic female characters!
