Last Kiss Of The Summer By Jessica M. Felleman

Our last April book release sounds like the perfect way to bring us all the summer vibes! It follows Sera, who is determined not to let Luke ruin her summer, the boy who broke her heart and who happens to live next door. Except that the two are permanently connected, since Sera, who received a new heart when she was young, gave Luke the healthy valves from her old heart. When their childhood friendship almost turned into something more, the two were dealing with their own personal problems, which meant that they didn’t support each other when they needed it most. Sera is ready to leave what happened two summers ago behind, but with reminders of how little time they have, she realizes that there’s no time to waste.
