"Jar of Hearts grabs you by the throat! The perfect blend of riveting characters, chilling details, and gasping twists in this standout thriller will keep you frantically reading until the explosive end.” – Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author of Right Behind You
This is the story of three best friends: one who was murdered, one who went to prison, and one who's been searching for the truth all these years . . .
When she was sixteen years old, Angela Wong—one of the most popular girls in school—disappeared without a trace. Nobody ever suspected that her best friend, Georgina Shaw, now an executive and rising star at her Seattle pharmaceutical company, was involved in any way. Certainly not Kaiser Brody, who was close with both girls back in high school.
But fourteen years later, Angela Wong's remains are discovered in the woods near Geo's childhood home. And Kaiser—now a detective with Seattle PD—finally learns the truth: Angela was a victim of Calvin James. The same Calvin James who murdered at least three other women.
To the authorities, Calvin is a serial killer. But to Geo, he's something else entirely. Back in high school, Calvin was Geo's first love. Turbulent and often volatile, their relationship bordered on obsession from the moment they met right up until the night Angela was killed.
For fourteen years, Geo knew what happened to Angela and told no one. For fourteen years, she carried the secret of Angela's death until Geo was arrested and sent to prison.
While everyone thinks they finally know the truth, there are dark secrets buried deep. And what happened that fateful night is more complex and more chilling than anyone really knows. Now the obsessive past catches up with the deadly present when new bodies begin to turn up, killed in the exact same manner as Angela Wong.
How far will someone go to bury her secrets and hide her grief? How long can you get away with a lie? How long can you live with it? Find out in Jennifer Hillier's Jar of Hearts.

“Okay soooo I know this is a hot take because of the hype this book gets 😅. Let’s start out and say this book is INTENSE, if you are thinking of reading it, please be sure to read the trigger warnings. Personally, I felt that the twist just didn’t make sense. And truthfully I forgot about most of what the main character went through at the beginning of the book by second half, I don’t really understand what it added to the plot. Maybe I didn’t interpret everything correctly but for me, the puzzle pieces didn’t fit. However, the book definitely made me feel.. ✨feelings✨, bad ones but feelings nonetheless 😬. There were definitely characters that I loved but hated at the same time so on that level, I think character development was done nicely. Overall, I think the writing and pacing was done well. However all things considered, I feel like the book, especially the ending, fell flat 🙁
Maybe I would recommend if you’re okay with the trigger warnings and you want to see what the hype is about. But I think “Little Secrets” by JH showcases her writing and potential much better so I would probably recommend starting with that book instead 😊”Ash
