The cover of the book "Our Missing Hearts" by Celeste Ng. Its background is a blue gradient, with the lightest blue on the left. The gradient fades into darker blue as it progresses toward the right side of the cover. The title of the book, "Our Missing Hearts," is in big white text in a sans-serif font at the center of the cover. Centered on top of that text is a feather that looks almost as if the top third has been torn off. Small birds are flying out of the torn part of the feather. Above these central elements is the author's name, Celeste Ng, in large black text. In smaller text above that, it says "#1 New York Times bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere." Toward the left side of the cover, there is a circular image that is a yellow circle with a white ring around it. Within the outer white ring, it says "Reese's Book Club" in black text. At the bottom left of the cover image, it says "A Novel" in black text that resembles print handwriting.
