MARY'S REVIEW:
You all know that I am the crier of the Book Nerds and this book made me cry A LOT! I read this book in one day because I could not stop reading it, even through the tears.
Emma is the main character who lives with her aunt and uncle because her father is dead and her mother is "unfit" to take care of her. Her aunt and uncle are so phony! They do not love nor care about Emma. The only person that Emma has in her life is her best friend, Sara, whom I just loved. That is until Evan shows up....OMG!!! *hot guy alert* He really comes in and tries so hard to help her and care for her, but he knows that she is hiding something.
Now I do not want to spoil this book but I will warn you there is abuse in it and it can be a bit disturbing (depending on what your definition of "disturbing" is). Emma tries to be so strong and the pain that she goes through is unfathomable. I can not imagine anyone going through her pain.
I was so glad that she had Evan and Sara. However, this book has the BEST cliff-hanger that I have read in a very long time.
This is a must read ....... with a box of tissues!
I highly recommend Reason To Breathe for all readers regardless of age or gender. This is a must read!
ReplyDeleteI have read this book three times now this year. I'll probably read it another three times down the line. It's not a light read by any means, but it is completely worth every bit that is tough to stomach. This story is beautiful written and will hands down be in my top five books forever.
