I am a huge fan of Rebecca Donovan and her books. What If was pretty good though I wouldn't call it her best.
When Cal Logan runs into his long lost friend Nicole Bentley, he is shocked to see her since no one has heard from her in over a year however, this girl is not the Nicole Bentley that he knew yet there is something about her. Nyelle Preston is the complete opposite of Nicole. Cal is completely intrigued by Nyelle and trying to figure out her story.
"She
continues to confuse me with every conversation we have. But this girl
makes me happy. Frustrated too. But mostly happy. And so I'm going to
take advantage of every second I have with her."
This book is a great story about friendship, love and getting past the what ifs!
AAAhhhhhh finally! The 3rd and final installment of The Breathing Series (that I have been impatiently waiting for)! I do have to say that I'm a little upset this book compared to the first two. While there were some good parts there were also some confusing parts and plenty of unnecessary pages.
Reason to Breathe and Barely Breathing were both emotional, intense, disturbing, heart breaking and truly gripping. I feel as though Out of Breath did just that, ran out of breath. I was hoping for so much more. Especially more of Evan and Emma. Their story was what mattered most, it was what we were all waiting for!
The story started a little slow but ultimately ended up where it was supposed to. It took a while to get there and when we did it just ended. Abruptly. Without a proper epilogue. Really?! After all that time and drama, and anxiety and waiting! That's it?! *Sigh*
Huge disappointment to say the least.
With that being said, I'm happy that Emma and Evan's story is over and we can all breathe again. It truly saddens me that some people have to deal with the emotional abuse that Emma endured especially from her own family. I also look forward to reading more from Rebecca Donovan. I will not let this ending effect that!
Reason to Breathe is the first book in the highly emotional Breathing Series from Rebecca Donovan.
Emma Thomas is beautiful, smart, strong and goes through high school trying not to exist. She buries herself in school work to avoid the disturbing reality that is her life. Emma lives with her aunt who emotionally, verbally and physically abuses her and her uncle who doesn't acknowledge the fact. When Evan Matthews shows up as a new student he completely turns her world upside down.
This book was so emotionally disturbing to read but it was one of those books that you just can't put down. Make sure when you read it you have the second book readily available because there is on hell of a cliffhanger!
Wow. Speechless. Barely breathing is just as intense and emotional as the first book.
Six months after the night from hell in Reason to Breathe, Emma is staying with her best friend Sara, when she decides to go live with her alcoholic mother. Not a very good situation for Emma to be in especially since her mother never remembers half of what she says and does when she is sober. Rachel's new, younger boyfriend Jonathan befriends Emma and they realize that they have a lot more in common than they think. Both are dealing with past issues of abuse and begin a relationship that they can't explain.
There are so many twists and turns and ups and downs in this book. Just when you think everything is going to turn out okay Miss Donovan turns it up a notch and we are left in total shock with another cliffhanger! Just breathe! And wait for Out of Breath which will be out next year!
