Tess is still struggling over the death of her best friend Colette. She takes the opportunity to spend the summer at her Aunt's and Uncle's cabin where she can attend an art camp in town. The break from everything at home, including her twin sister Frankie, who is handling her emotions much better than Tess is, might be just what she needs. But, while art camp is fun, and she meets a nice boy, Tess feels like Colette may be haunting her. 

I loved the idea of Paper Hearts, how if you crumple them, you can't get the creases out - that mean words can do that to actual hearts. Paper Hearts was engaging in a different way than Tornado Brain. Not as frantic, and Paper Hearts has a romance!
