Heart is a twisty tale that starts out darker, gradually becoming more lighthearted until you can't help but find yourself rooting for these MCs, regardless of how they came to find one another.
From the blurb:
The first time I laid eyes on him my heart skipped a beat.
My obsession began the way all obsessions do…with a spark. A small, seemingly insignificant flicker that quickly took root.
He was pure, liquid light. A sunshine boy with a heart of gold.
He turned my world up-side-down. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t let him out of my sight.
Ever wondered what happens when red flags and green flags collide? If so, you’re about to find out.
Heart is an obsessive, swoony, stalker-y MM romance featuring the biggest green flag in existence, and a broken boy you can’t help falling in love with.

This book started out with a completely different tone to how it ended. When this story begins, Lennon is in a dark place. He's depressed. Not himself. You are aware something awful must have happened to trigger the darkness in him, but it isn't until almost the end of the story that we find out the details. All we know is that Lennon hasn't been in a good way for some time now and when he finally begins to feel things again, the catalyst is the innocent, yet joyous smile of a stranger named Connor.

I'll admit. I worried for Connor for a bit. Lennon seemed a bit unhinged there and I didn't know if this book was going to go someplace darker than it had. Thankfully, I worried for naught. Connor is honestly the most sunshiney, glass half-full guy, that I don't think darkness would ever dare touch him. This man was on the brink of death. He could have given up. But he didn't. Connor fought like hell to get back to the people he loved and then he spent the rest of his time bringing his infectious happiness to all he met him. I think life would be a lot better if we all had someone like Connor in our lives to remind of us the good.
The romance was a slow progression. Lennon is hurting. Connor is well aware of this and puts his effort into being the friend that Lennon so obviously needs. What's wonderful about that, is that it shows Lennon that even though he thought he was alone, he isn't. And it also makes Lennon realize that maybe the people he keeps pushing away are doing the same thing. Just trying to be good friends and be there for someone they care about.

Falling in love with Connor wasn't a cure for Lennon's struggles, but it was definitely the thing that started him on his path of healing. Without Connor, I don't know how long it would have taken Lennox to reach out for the help he needed. All I know is I'm glad these two found each other and I'm so happy how everything turned out in the end.
