This book is a story told from the points of view of three different people; each chapter contains the 'thinker' at the top. It is a story about three different lives that overlap in strange ways; Bird, who is on the hunt for her step-father, Cecil, the step-father who left her family; Ethan, who, in his early years, was critically ill, but is recovered; and Jay, whose brother died a year or so ago, the boy whose heart now resides in Ethan's body.
This story was wonderful, rich in detail. However, the ending was too rushed, too hurried. It's as if the author had 2 pages to sum the whole thing up; one moment the story is bubbling along peacefully, the next it comes to a dead halt. True, some stories have a hanging ending, but this ending was rushed - the plot, it seemed, changed tack at top speed, leaving no clues behind, only confusion. I think it'd be perfect if only there could be a new ending.
