A review by curls
Reason to Breathe by Rebecca Donovan

3.0

Emma lives with her abusive aunt and uncle who ignores the abusive. She stays quiet because they are good to her cousins, and she’s afraid if she reports it, they will be taken away and split up. She she’s counting down the days to get away to college.

She meets and crushes on the new guy Evan, who is interested in her. This book feels like a YA book at school, and a horror story at home.

The strength of this book is the friendship between Emma and her friend Sara. Sara knows some of what is going on, and begs Emma to report it. The friendship was written better than the romance in my option.

This book could have been 100 pages shorter. The plot dragged at times, and it was just too long and repetitive.

It ends on a cliffhanger. I borrowed the next book and read the first chapter, but it just didn’t hold my attention.
