Reason to Breathe by Rebecca Donovan

5.0

I loved everything about this book. It's a more sophisticated tale of friendship than many other young adults books I've read. It explores the boundaries of true friendship and takes the necessary time to build believable relationships between characters. With its unflinching details of domestic violence it can be difficult to read at times, but I believe that's the author's intent. I devoured this book, anxious to see how the story would end and then I was when it did. The ending leaves you hanging but that's what you'd expect in the first book of a trilogy. I feel the writing is so superb and the plot so important that I'm having my teenagers read it next. I'm looking forward to reading Book 2.
