A review by ljrinaldi
The Deepest Breath by Meg Grehan

5.0

Don't let the verse throw you off. As much as I hate books written in verse, at least this is more thoughts, then something rhyming, and it works, but I really hate having to read it this way.

Having said that, this is a very well written middle grade, first person account, and in that it works. For example, Stevie talks about the fizzy feeling she gets when she is around her best friend, Chloe, and she wants to know what it means.

And, I almost cried when Stevie was scared to name the crush she had on her best friend, to the librarian.

Such an accepting, beautiful book. Perfect for children who aren't sure, and who see themselves in this.

Thanks to Edelweiss for making this book available for an honest review.
