Heartstrings (Love Notes #2) by Heather GunterThe title of this book says it all, this story pulls at your heartstrings and may even bring tears to your eyes. This is the first book I've read written by Heather Gunter, her writing is fantastic, the plot and character are well developed, the entire story flows rather nicely and I found I didn't want to stop reading it till I reached the end.Tori is a senior in high school, who has kept a secret for over a year, never disclosing to anyone what has happened to her one night. Nightmares are causing her lack of sleep and she knows she has to say something. Finally she confides in her mom and best friend.Will who has been Tori's friend for a very long time, knew Tori had changed over the last year. A year ago they were just about at the point where they were finally comfortable enough to move past friendship and acknowledge that they did have feelings for each other. But tragedy strikes Tori and her plans changed. Tori being a bit insecure is scared to tell Will what happened to her a year ago and thinks it will change the way he sees her.She finally does tell Will her secret and he treats her with respect and reiterates that this was not her fault. Of course Will lets Tori knows his feeling for her have not changed at all.This story is about healing, trusting and having the strength to take back your life.I have rated Heartstrings a 4 star rating and would recommend it to anyone who loves to read the YA Genre.Heather Gunter has written an exceptional story and portrayed a horrible situation in a very positive manner for young women to read.
