A review by mary00
Breathless by Jessica Warman
2.0
I wavered between 2 and 3 stars on this one. Ultimately, I decided on the higher rating as this book kept me breezing right through it and it is well-written. The author does a great job in developing most of the characters and handles Katie's relationships with her schizophrenic brother and her best friend beautifully.
However, it is a very dark and heavy young adult novel. It did not leave me feeling very uplifted. I also could not relate to the promiscuous, party filled lifestyles that the teens of the novel were involved in. The author seemed to be treating such lifestyles as the acceptable norm for all modern teens. Therefore, this is not a book that I would recommend to the teens that I know.
(Changed my mind. Decided to go with 2 stars.)
