In this day of transplants, this plot looks plausible. So I'd try it. (The
real test comes in developing the right title for this scenario- like-
"trading Hearts" or "I Beat for You" or "My Heart for Yours" or ???; not
trying to be strictly funny but a title is an eye and mind catcher. Any
other suggestions for the title?

Subject: [stylist] Plot input.
I have an idea for a short story I want to write, but I want input on the
strength of the overall idea. Is it plausible, or am I asking the reader to
suspend disbelief too much?
Here's the idea, a couple (I haven't determined married or just lovers) is
struggling with communicating with and understanding each other. In a
strange twist of fate, one (or both) have a heart condition that allows them
to participate in an experimental surgery to literally swap hearts. The
procedure is a success, but as they go the recovery from the surgery, they
disover that they now more deeply understand each other. Granted, yes, I
know, something of a fairy tale, but isn't that what some literature is
meant to be?
