Summary from Goodreads:
Bookish Brit Adam Gibson is one wonky heartbeat away from a
fatal arrhythmia. He's torn between wanting to live and knowing that someone
else must die in order for him to do so. He needs a new heart.
Adam stops talking to his friends, refuses to meet kids at
his new school, and shuts his parents out entirely. His days are spent
wondering if can cope with having a dead man's heart beating inside his chest,
or if he should surrender to the thoughts of suicide swirling around in his
head.
And then a donor is found.
Outspoken artist Darby Fox rarely lets anything stand in her
way of achieving her goals. She also happens to be the twin sister to a perfect
brother with good looks, good grades, manners, and the approval of their
parents - something Darby has never had.
Darby's always had bad timing. She picks the worst time to
argue with her brother Daniel. In a car with bald tires, on an icy road in the
freezing cold, the unthinkable happens. In a split-second, everything changes
forever.

ADAM:
I clutch my well-worn paperback of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein close to my heart. The doctor robbed graves, stealing body parts to create his monster. I suppress a shiver. In a way, the transplant surgeon does the same thing by harvesting a donor’s organs when they’re on the brink of death. If I get prioritized on the list, I’ll be waiting for that poor victim to arrive. Then I’ll steal his or her heart and with it, their life.
Then I’ll be the monster.
Then I’ll be the monster.
DARBY:
Images blur on a merry-go-round from Hell that spins faster with each turn. Sleet pounding the windshield. Daniel fighting with the clutch and brake. The truck’s headlights impaling us. Crunching steel. Daniel’s bloody face.
Pain stretches from my head, dragging its dirty talons down my neck and across my shoulders, ending in cold numbness at my chest. Something presses my body down. I can’t move. I can’t escape it.
