'I absolutely adored it' EMMA COOPER 'A love song to Edinburgh . . . simply gorgeous' PERNILLE HUGHES 'A truly unique love story' JANE CRITTENDEN 'Beautifully written' REBECCA RYAN The acclaimed author of THE ECHOES OF US returns with a story to win your heart. For fans of Dani Atkins, Paige Toon, and Sophie Cousens. Maggie should be living life to the full. She should be travelling the world, jumping out of planes, skiing in the mountains. Everything she dreamed of doing. But a year ago she fell ill and needed a heart transplant, losing all her confidence. This new heart is a gift, and Maggie believes that the best way to honour it is to be careful, cautious, safe. Then something impossible happens. Maggie wakes up one morning in a flat that's not her own, in pyjamas that aren't her own and when she looks in the mirror - she sees another woman's face looking back at her. Somehow, magically, Maggie has been given another chance at life, and another chance at love... But can you truly follow your heart if it belonged to someone else first?
