My daughter just brought home a copy of the Scholastic "Teen Readers' Club" catalogue, which had an advertisement for a book with a protagonist who receives a heart transplant, and "Now the only way for Egan [the donor] to communicate is through her still-beating heart that beats inside Amelia".

Wasn't one iteration of IWFNE enough? Have we lived and fought in vain?

It certainly doesn't make me inclined to recommend it to her. Even though it does include a "glittery heart necklace".

P. S. The entire catalogue sucks, except for the books she already has. Well, there is a two-pack of Lord of the Flies and The Outsiders, which should come with a razor for opening one's veins.
