Heart the Lover opens Goodreads in a new tab

Our narrator understands good love stories, their secrets and subtext, their highs and their free falls. But her greatest love story, the one she lived, never followed the simple rules. In the fall of her senior year of college, she meets two star students from her 17th-Century Lit class, Sam and Yash, best friends who invite her into their intoxicating world of academic fervor, rapid-fire banter and raucous card games. They nickname her Jordan, and she soon finds herself at the center of a charged and intricate triangle. Decades later, a surprise visit and unexpected news bring the past crashing into the present, and Jordan must confront the decisions and deceptions of her younger self.
