I really enjoyed reading this book! The diversity of the characters was also another favourite of mine., especially with Courtney being bisexual and also Jewish! The only thing that I didn't enjoy in this book was the drama. I had a feeling it was a bit too much and the pacing felt a bit off, but otherwise, it was an entertaining read.

Unfortunately, I did not really like the first book in this series so I will not be reading this one and I don't want to hold onto it any longer.

So much drama. Although I like this more than the previous one. All three follow the same rule - girl meets boy, they fall in love, major unnecessary drama and break-up, happily ever after. Ugh. Too much drama for me.

At this point, I think I just really need to read up the rest of the Ann Aguirre books on my shelf. I know that no matter what genre she’s writing, I am going to enjoy reading. The Shape Of My Heart is a New Adult contemporary book that is the last of the 2B trilogy. However, you do not need to read the other books in the trilogy to appreciate your time with this. In fact, it has been like 5 years since I read the other two books in the trilogy and felt just fine. Granted, I remembered basically nothing about the other two books.

The Shape Of My Heart is the story of Courtney and Max. It opens with Courtney accompanying Max to his grandfather’s funeral back home on Rhode Island, I think it was. The trip is tough for Max because he became estranged from his family at 16 after an accident that left his little brother in a wheelchair. Anyways, Courtney serves as emotional support and good friend. She also realizes that maybe she has feelings for Max. The two kind of fight their feelings on the trip and then go back to being apartment mates. Eventually, they can’t fight the feelings anymore and end up together.

Both have a history. Courtney dated this guy who died when she was 17. She has a hard time letting people get close to her. Max is estranged from his family, as I already mentioned. His father is an alcoholic and his mom died when giving birth to his little brother. So, yeah, lots of history on both ends to overcome. And so, this is a story about building trust and communication. But also, about breaking down the barriers to love.

It is a somewhat quick read. Although, I did not really inhale this one like I did the other two 2B books. I still appreciate the time I spent with it. This book provided me with a nice distraction, a cute relationship and some entertainment during a very stressful week. So, I am grateful for The Shape Of My Heart.

These two by far are my favorite of the characters. There is a vulnerability between these two, a determination with added gumption, that wasn't present in the other two stories. Max was definitely one of my favorites from the first installment, and I was happy to know that he had the a good story.

Definitely the best out of the three, but I found the Eli conversations to be annoying. Max and Courtney had a lot of drama surrounding them (of course) but they seemed to made a fairly good match. I had some issues with the non romance things, thus the 2 star rating.
