Jonny isn't like "normal" teenagers. Every day he wakes up in hospital, kept alive by a machine. Every day he wonders if this is the day they'll find a donor match for his heart. Every day he wonders if this is the day he'll die.

Every day, Niamh fights with her "perfect" brother Leo. Every single day, Leo wins. Every day, Niamh dreams of a life without Leo. But all that changes on the day of the accident; the day everything falls apart.

This is a story about facing the future, no matter how frightening. This is a story about healing your heart, no matter how much it hurts.

Tamsyn Murray writes for all ages from picture books to YA, including Usborne's Instructions for a Second-Hand Heart, and the Completely Cassidy and Tanglewood Animal Park series. Her YA Afterlife series was published to widespread critical acclaim, with My So-Called Afterlife Highly Commended in the Teenage Booktrust Prize. Both My So-Called Phantom Lovelife and Instructions for a Second-Hand Heart were shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists' Association YA Romantic Novel of the Year.
