3.75 StarsI enjoyed Sadie and Zander, but the story didn't blow my mind. Sadie's grief was the best part of the book for me, because it really made me feel. After the tragic death of her husband, Sadie's family stages an intervention of sorts to help her move on. They want Sadie to meet the people her husband saved with his organs.Enter Zander, who received a new heart from Jake. The love story was unique, and it was written well, but I can't put my finger on what was missing for me. I think maybe I was expecting a little more chemistry between the two characters. Sadie's grief took up so much of the book, I feel there wasn't enough time for Sadie and Zander to go through the dating process.Sadie's inner dialogue about her hesitation to move on was a bit much for me at times. I couldn't imagine losing my husband, but I would expect a little bit of progress if two years has passed, even if it was just a little bit. Sadie went straight from her grief for Jake to Zander, and I wish there was an in-between period. I think that's what was missing for me. Other than that, I liked the book.
