I was really intrigued about this book just from reading the description. I have to admit, I agree with other reviews in saying, it took me a little bit to get into the plot, about 5 chapters. I really enjoyed the idea of someone who is previously shy having a personality change after a brain injury. Especially since I am also introverted and shy. The author did really well in painting a picture of the dynamics of the mother/daughter relationship prior to and after the injury. I am not sure which Genre it is listed under, but I would definitely recommend it as a young adult read. It is interesting with some romantic/drama thrown in there. Over all a fun read, but if you find it a slow start, please keep going, it is worth it overall. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I'm sure you've been in a similar situation to this, you've previously read a book by an author, enjoyed it, and presumed you'll enjoy reading something else by that author. Well, that's the case here. It took me months before I could actually get past the first few chapters of this book and then it felt as if the author condensed traumatic brain injury into a somewhat familiar soap opera-esque amnesia trope. I guess it boils down to this, I didn't really like EVERY WILD HEART. It simply wasn't the right book for me. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Every Wild Heart by Meg Donohue is a quick and easy to read book. This was a welcome break from the dark and demented books that I have been addicted to lately. It does contain some fluffy drama which makes it the perfect summer read. no reviews | add a review
From USA Today bestselling author Meg Donohue comes a mystery, a love story, and a mother-daughter tale about two women on a precarious journey to uncover their true selves. Passionate and funny, radio personality Gail Gideon is a true original. Nine years ago when Gail's husband announced that he wanted a divorce, her ensuing on-air rant propelled her local radio show into the national spotlight. Now, "The Gail Gideon Show" is beloved by millions of single women who tune-in for her advice on the power of self-reinvention. But fame comes at a price. After all, what does a woman who has staked her career on being single do when she finds herself falling in love? And is the person who is harassing her in increasingly troubling ways a misguided fan or a true danger to Gail and her daughter, Nic? Fourteen-year-old Nic has always felt that she pales in comparison to her vibrant, outgoing mother. Plagued by a fear of social situations, she is most comfortable at the stable where she spends her afternoons. But when a riding accident lands Nic in the hospital, she awakens from her coma changed. Suddenly, she has no fear at all and her disconcerting behavior lands her in one risky situation after another. And no one, least of all her mother, can guess what she will do next...

Every Wild Heart is the story about Gail Gideon and her daughter Nic. Gail has a radio talk show and Nic is a typical teenager. The relationship between Gail and Nic is one that is close and yet has some trouble.
Gail is being stalked and she thinks it is one of her listeners and she is worried about her daughter's safety. Her daughter rides horses and is starting at a new school. She has an accident while riding her horse and it seems to have changed her.
I enjoyed this story and found the ending a happy one. ( )
