My Heart and Other Black Holes

De: Jasmine Warga

Narrado por: Rebecca Lowman

Sixteen-year-old physics nerd Aysel is obsessed with plotting her own death. With a mother who can barely look at her without wincing, classmates who whisper behind her back, and a father whose violent crime rocked her small town, Aysel is ready to turn her potential energy into nothingness.

There's only one problem: She's not sure she has the courage to do it alone. But once she discovers a website with a section called Suicide Partners, Aysel's convinced she's found her solution--a teen boy with the username FrozenRobot (aka Roman), who's haunted by a family tragedy, is looking for a partner.

Even though Aysel and Roman have nothing in common, they slowly start to fill in each other's broken lives. But as their suicide pact becomes more concrete, Aysel begins to question whether she really wants to go through with it. Ultimately,she must choose between wanting to die and trying to convince Roman to live so they can discover the potential of their energy together.

This is a gorgeously written and compulsively listenable novel about the transformative power of love, heralding the arrival of an extraordinary new voice in teen fiction, Jasmine Warga.

Will "reread" this on April 7th.

I would definitely "read" this book again and again and again. Amazing characters, amazing story. As expected, the rain washed away all the dirt, but the suspension goes on and on. And finishing this today -April 4th- of all day just make this story comes to life, make me ask myself, where am I in this story? or hundreds of stories like this? I would definitely "read" the last chapter again on April 7th. For all Romans and Aysels.

Wow.

Absolutely beautiful. I couldn't get enough of this story, and I only want to know more about Roman and Aysel.

Good Story

Excellent narration. I really liked how the author kept you hanging on to find out truly what the father's actual crime was. I also liked the end result.

Breathtaking

Rebecca Lowman portrays the characters in a way I can only imagine Jasmine Warga imagined them. I had the perfect picture of what was happening the whole time with all of the details. Amazing.

Great Audiobook!

This was a great audiobook on a darker subject. I'd highly recommend you check it out.

loved it

fell in love with the book love the story well written this is deffinetly a reread

Was just good

The performance was good and the reader didn’t make it super dramatic.
The story was good but had so much more potential. It was a good read/listen but it could have been better. A little edgy too. You can tell it’s more of a teen/ young adult book.

I wish it ended with a prologue.

Great story. Very emotional and intriguing, and it kept me wanting to finish it so I would know how these two young kids turned out. I wish we got a glimpse into the future to know if they both turn out okay but it still ended in a satisfactory way.

AWESOME!!!

This book is so beautiful and I think anyone could like this book. I read this book in one day because I couldn't stop listening...:)

Great Read

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Even though I had a pretty good idea of how it would end something about it brought me to tears. The entire book felt raw and real and is something that I don't feel is represented in this way often. It was honestly slightly depressing but completely refreshing.
