We’re chatting about covers on Chapter Break. ‘Cause you know we all judge books by covers, whether we admit it or not. We judge the style, the color and font choices, and just the overall look. That might not keep us from reading the book, but we do still judge.
What a creative cover!
I love dresses on covers anyway. But I love how this dress is shaped like a heart. And not the SHAPE of a heart, but I mean the actual ORGAN in our body. With blood pathways.
It fits well with a love story for a woman who really just wants to be a surgeon.
I like the font. I like it a lot – the font is swirly and scripty but still readable. I’d have changed the author name font to have upper case letters where we normally uppercase the name, but it’s fine. It’s gothic-looking and that fits the gothic novel style of this book.
It definitely got me to check out the blurb so the cover is a hit.
This book understood the assignment and excelled at it! And shout out the B&N for their fancy Valentine’s Edition!
Here’s what I love: It’s a romance with a heart on the cover. In the shape of an anatomic heart. Which totally ties in with the main character wanting to be a doctor, but can only learn from dissecting bodies. And using her dress to form the shape of the heart is even better. The blood\heart theme carries through the whole cover!
I’m not usually into script\calligraphy, as I find it over the top and sometimes difficult to read. But in the case of historic fiction, I think the choice fits. I’m glad to see they carried the same font from the title to the author’s name and the shout out at the top.
This cover certainly catches the eye, and had me adding it to my TBR list! And maybe suggesting it for book club.
What are your thoughts on this cover?
