Jar of Hearts Book by Jennifer Hillier

 

Geo, Angela and Kaiser were the best of friends navigating High School together. Their friendship seemed  unbreakable until Calvin entered the picture resulting in a breakdown in the friendship something most of us has experienced. 

Initially Angela was interested in Calvin but he had eyes for Geo. Geo is sweet, innocent and naive and finds herself in a rapidly growing relationship with Calvin.  A relationship that turns out to unhealthy and 14 years later results in her going to prison. 

Geo does her time and returns to the very home she grew up in. The home across from the area where her friends dead boy was found. The community is not in favor of her return which is compounded when a few dead bodies appear in the same area her friend was found buried and chopped to bits in.  The MO is nearly the same and as the story unravels you will find yourself enthralled with the story and spending you time reading in order to find out what happens.

This is the first book I have read by Jennifer Hillier and I am beyond impressed and wished I have discovered her earlier. Jar of Hearts is told in five parts and alternates between the present and the past. The end is shocking.
