My Heartbeat

Ellen loves Link and James.  Her older brother and his best friend are the only company she ever wants.  She knows they fight, but she makes it a policy to never take sides.  She loves her brother, the math genius and track star.  And she is totally, madly in love with James, with his long eyelashes and hidden smiles.  "When you grow out of it, "James teases her, "you will break my heart."  Then someone at school asks if Link and James might be in love with each other.  A simple question.  But the answer is far from simple, and its repercussions affect their entire lives.  This extraordinary, multiple award-winning novel is funny, heartbreaking, and messy-just like the characters, just like life.

"Breathtaking in the purity of its emotions and in its refusal to pigeonhole any of its characters, it will engage readers to the very last page." -Kirkus Reviews
