The Queen of Hearts by Kimmery Martin

35142025. sy475

Zadie is a pediatric cardiologist.  She's married with a bunch of children.  She loves her family and loves her life.  Emma is her best friend since University who is also happily married with a child.  They are bonded by the struggles of medical school and long nights at the hospital.  

As doctors they both see more than their share of death.  It's hard to imagine saving or losing someone's life all in a day's work.  The two friends support each other through deaths where they wondered if they could have done more and those where they wonder if they made a mistake in those split seconds they had to save a life.  But when a new doctor joins Emma's practice their past comes rushing back testing their friendship.

Kimmery Martin, the author of Queen of Hearts is an emergency room doctor in North Carolina so she is definitely equipped to write a drama centered around a hospital.  I found the book had a little bit too much medical jargon for my liking but the plot was good enough for me to prevail.

Queen of Hearts is available at Chapters in paperback.
