It was never her intention to fall for Colton, after all, how could she be with Colton when he reminds her so much of Trent?īoth Colton and Quinn have their secrets and struggles, and both characters are well-drawn and nuanced. The only thing that matters to Quinn Sullivan is meeting Colton Thomas. To her dismay, all the people who received Trent’s other organs respond to her letters, but not the one that received his heart. Quinn Sullivan believes that if she can find the recipient of Trent’s heart then perhaps she can get some closure on the matter. Losing Trent is equally as painful every day even after four hundred days. Trent, Quinn Sullivan’s boyfriend, and love of her life died in a car accident.

Released in 2016, Things We Know By Heart is a poignant tale of grief and mastering the courage to love again. The novel promises to sweep the readers of their feet as they watch Parker make decisions that lead to a delightful conclusion. Parker’s character begins to arc as she struggles in the quest for truth and what she had done. The journal entries created the possibility that not all occurred to be golden with local urban legend couples. Golden is part romance, part mystery, and part suspense.


Another interesting character in Golden is Trevor, Parker’s crush since middle school. Kat is less up-tight and attempts to make Parker loosen up a little. Kat, Parker’s best friend, is her exact opposite. Parker is a dreamer and wants to make her mother proud by gaining admission to Stanford University. Parker is in some aspects similar to Robert Frost, the poet she was named after. In Honor, Golden and Things We Know By Heart – Jessi Kirby’s Magnificent Works
