Out of Breath by Rebecca Donovan
5.0
Still crying, and running on only two hours of sleep I cracked open the final installment of this series. Evan you better be back! I swear I'm going to keep hating you Rebecca...this better play out in his favor!!
"And this is Cole," Tom said, directing my attention to the blond guy with broad shoulders standing next to him.
WHAT?!? NO!! How could you Emma, how could you? You aren't supposed to even think about any other guy let alone date one! Focus on your friends, you know all your new roomies. Where's Evan, when does he come back? Put down that alcohol and...well just go find Evan!!
^^My crazy thought process throughout the first 1/4 of the book^^
Although I will admit that I did like Cole and in a way he was good for Emma, one of the thousand pieces to help put her back together and make something beautiful.
"But if you need to walk away, then go ahead. Emma, I'm not asking for anything. I like what this is. There're no expectations. So, if you can...just for this week, I'd like it if you didn't walk away."
It was great to see Emma make more friends now that she was away at college and Sara was out of the country. Each of them had a role in helping her too. Peyton helped her move on (I hate this but can appreciate it at the same time), Meg was the only one who knew what had happened and did her best to watch over her, and Serena was determined to save her.
Then Rachel killed herself and I knew it was just all down hill from there. But Evan was finally back! Woohoo!!
I fell in love with him all over again reading as he tried to help put Emma back together again.
"Let it all out, Emma. Find your way back to us."
"Now I had a choice. I could let her push me away, fearing she'd continue to hurt me. Or I could fight for us. Convince her that we were worth it. Any pain she could inflict would never come close to the pain of being without her. I could never give up on her...on us."
"Emma, there was never a choice. I will always choose you. Always."
As the description promised I was holding my breathe until the very end. This book was everything and more than I heard about it. The way that Rebecca tackled all forms of abuse in this book was captivating, thoughtful and...powerful. Kudos to her for having the strength to write these books and to share all of these emotions with us. Even her acknowledgements brought me to tears.
"Lastly, I must express my admiration for the strength and perseverance of every survivor of abuse. There is hope. There is love. There is help. You are not alone."
