This is a very nicely written story based on this first impression, although not the sort of thing I would personally pick up and read.
The cover is interesting enough to draw the eye without looking too busy with details and I like the colours used and the title.
The opening initally had me a little worried, with it written as if the character was writing a blog post, thankfully that isn't actually the style here,but a clever addition to add some detail and in-sight into Ailsa's thoughts. It is used effectively to supplement the story.
The story it self follows a girl called Ailsa during her time in hospital awaiting a life-saving transplant on her heart and then her recovery.
I like how it is written in first person and the humorous tone that the author has conveyed. I like how although it's fictional it does help promote a message to the reader.
There wasn't a huge amount of content or hints as to what happens next,but I think the author has done a decent job with this first impression, even if it's not a book I would tend to read.
