Jar of Hearts was my first experience with one of Jennifer Hillier's books and I am so glad that I didn't miss out on it! It is edge of your seat suspenseful and a roller coaster ride of emotions.
Angela Wong, head cheerleader, popular student and best friend of Georgina (Geo) Shaw, goes missing at age 16 and Geo knows the how and the why but is unable to bring herself to come forward.
Fast forward 14 years to when Geo Shaw is a successful VP of one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in Seattle and is months away from her wedding and in walks her other highs school best friend, Kaiser Brody. But this is not a social call. This is an arrest. Angela Wong's skeleton has been discovered and after 3 more victims, Geo's rebellious and obsessive high school love, Calvin is named the alleged murderer.
Geo pays the price for her role in secret keeping and is looking forward to putting her life back together after ridding herself of the weight of the secrets of the past. So, why then, does she still feel the guilt so heavily that she can't seem to move on? What exactly happened in the last hours of Angela Wong's life and why is the past coming back to haunt her in the form of more murdered women?
Jar of Hearts was nothing short of gripping and mesmerizing. I devoured this book in 2 sittings. When I first read the blurb, I didn't think I would connect with any of the characters. How could I? Through Geo's grief and love and loss and life, that's how. Despite the circumstances, Jennifer Hillier created an incredibly relatable main character. All characters were well developed and important to the book as a whole. It is well written all the way through and closed with an absolutely satisfying end!
If you are looking for a fast paced thrill, look no further. Jar of Hearts is your book!
