John recaps this heart transplant rom-com (yep...) for Sarah and Cameron. It's about a woman named Grace who falls in love with a man named Bob, but the twist is, to quote the film, "Grace has Bob's dead wife's heart."

Talk to someone you can trust through the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Call or text 988 or chat the lifeline.
