The Queen of Hearts by Kimmery MartinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
First of All … that cover is WOW! I’ll be honest, between the cover and the description I saw somewhere about it being like Grey’s Anatomy, it was inevitable that I’d pick this one up. Friendship, marriage, hospitals … yes, please! I will say that it took me a bit to connect with this one … it was looking like a 2 or 3 star until about 125-150 pages. And then … boom, it just took off for me. [I’m not sure what made it difficult for me in initially – from reading reviews, it appears that most others loved it from start to finish so … just thought I’d mention that my experience may be an anomaly]. And now I’m settling at a 4 star overall. I’d imagine it was difficult to find that delicate balance between the domestic drama pieces of the story and the medical pieces of the story … but it was done beautifully in this novel. The friendship in this novel felt very real and honest to me. There were imperfections and it felt very true to life for me, just as real-life friendships are. Complex, challenging and heartbreaking at times. This is a debut novel so I cannot wait to see what’s to come for Kimmery Martin! Definitely recommend.
