A fast-paced dip into the possibility of a world without human emotions. A teenage girl refuses a medical procedure to remove her heart and her emotions. June lives in a future in which a reclusive Scientist has pioneered a procedure to remove hearts, thus eliminating all “sadness, anxiety, and anger.” The downside is that it numbs pleasurable feelings, too. Most people around June have had the procedure done; for young people, in part because doing so helps them become more focused and successful.
