Advance Praise

"A heart-breaking yet mind blowing read…phenomenal storytelling…I genuinely don’t think that anything could have prepared me for what lay beneath the cover of SarahJane Ford’s novel. Nothing at all…it was heartbreakingly beautiful, eyes pouring, limbs trembling, heart shattering emotional. Beautiful beyond belief, ‘I Give You My Heart’ is…..perfect.” – The Writing Garnet Blog

"One of the most beautiful books I have ever read...I wanted to devour this in one go- it was hard to let go (and go to bed). I have my own special award of 5** which about 10% of the book I read achieve (I read around 220 a year). This one deserves its own award- I would give it 10* if I could. I don’t think I have ever been so touched by a book quite so much. Yes I cried at the end but boy did I smile a lot too. Alice was such a positive character that you couldn’t help but love her. I think this could be my book of the year 2018. A treasure of a read I shall remember for a very long time."- Nicki's Book blog

A quick and fast paced read but what a heartbreaking story.
There’s so much to take in and say about ones last weeks of life and this book definitely gave a fresh approach to the topic.
I enjoyed the journal and the story told of our heroine and her husband love story and shared a lot of tears as well.
This is not a happy ending love story but one that will give you a lot of feelings and maybe make you think that we take everything for granted lately and a second can change our lives forever.

First of all I would like to thanks netgalley and the publishers for granting me this book. This book is a very special one and i was intrigued upon reading the synopsis. This follows the journey of a woman when she came to know that she has an inoperable mass in her brain and that is is stage four terminal cancer. She was devastated and so was her entire family specifically her husband alex. It made me so emotional that icread it in one go and was sobbing like an emotional fool the whole time. When she decides to give away her functioning organs to people who would benifit from it, was completely heartbreaking. Her journey, her dreams ,her love all became a heartwrenching tale. Her heart which was chosen to be donated to a girl name helen ,came with a set of instructions for her. The last letter to helen was so beautiful that it made me cry and laugh at the same time. Its a mixture of both me before you and ps i love you. It was phenomenal and powerful story of love,loss,dreams and would have beens. It was unputdownable! I highly recommend everyone to read it atleast once.

Alice is a thoroughly believable character. Her journey is both heartbreaking and heart warming. By the end you feel you really know her and are praying that she gets the results she’s praying for.
The love story between her and Alex is told beautifully in the letters to the recipient
By the end you feel like she a friend and the feeling of grief is overwhealming! Have tissues ready.

It took me a while to get through this book just because I found it very moving and emotional in parts so needed to take a step back sometimes! I loved it all the more by not rushing, its a truly heartbreaking and uplifting read. I really travelled to pages with Alice and I was SO proud of her. Its a book you should read.

This book follows the journey of Alice, who has been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor and is given only months to live. At only 26 years old, she makes the decision to use this impossible situation to give the gift of life to 22 others by donating her organs. Through this process we get to see the love story of Alice and her husband Alex unfold, through letters written to the recipient of her heart.

This story was incredibly touching and heartfelt. You could feel the love the characters have for each other coming off of the pages. My only critique is that the characters were a little too perfect. All of the parts of the novel where Alice is struggling with her diagnosis are glossed over. Delving into her frustration and anger in those moments would have helped to humanize her and make her character come alive.

Wow this book has broken me. What a love story. It was absolutely amazing and had me in tears. Hats off to the author I could not put it down. Amazing

Reminded me of Me Before You, not in terms of plot, but in terms of the beautiful way of combining tragedy and hope in one complex masterpiece.

I loved it. There can be nothing more important to say that that - I absolutely loved it. It managed to be heart-warming, not heart-breaking, and the beauty of its message absolutely took my breath away.

A truly standout book. Unique, beautiful crafted, and one that you simply must read.

Wow, no words can do this review justice. This book will break you and bring you back for more. It is so emotional that you will not want to put it down until you have read the very last word, and even then this story will stay with you.

A tearjerking and sad story about a woman who knows she's dying soon and decides to donate her organs. Her only stipulation is that she get's to choose who receives her heart because she feels it's connected to her husband. It was a sad, but good read.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. All Thoughts and opinions are my own.

Have your tissues ready. This is such a sad novel about a woman who knows she's dying, so she's trying to donate her organs. It's such a tear-jerker of a book, but it is so good and heart warming.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.
Natalie.
