Out of Breath by Rebecca Donovan

5.0

I'm really sad right now. I can't believe this is the end of the Emma&Evan trilogy. Don't get me wrong the book was absolutely perfect, but I'm gonna miss reading about them.
I think I'll miss perfect Evan the most. The first chapters of the book killed me with their Evan-lessness! With every page I turned I kept expecting to see his name, to know what he was up to, what he'd gone through all that time he and Emma were apart. And the wait was reaaaaaally long, but then, once he finally appeared again, we got to see the story from his point of view!!! I almost fainted when I realized I'd get to see inside his head and heart! The long wait was definitely worth it. And even though I realized he had imperfections, and had made some mistakes, they only made him more perfect in my eyes. I truly love him.
I really liked all the new characters too. Emma's roommates, Evan's California friends and poor, sweet Cole. I felt so bad for him, but at the same time was thinking, 'Well, what did you expect? She never stopped and will never stop loving Evan. Sorry'. Serena, Meg, Peyton, Nate, Brent, TJ and Ren made me wish I had such good friends as them. They kept making me laugh. Especially Brent.
What to say about Emma? I was really worried about her at the beginning. But the things she did also made me angry. She was hurting really badly and was drowning in guilt, but refused to open up to anyone, and it was tearing her apart. She hit rock bottom. But then Evan was there to guide her back, to help return the light to her eyes, to heal her (and himself) with the love they shared. He knew what to do to fix her, because he knows her like no one else does. And she finally, FINALLY opened up to him! And voila! You have an epic love story. Gosh, I'm gonna miss them so bad.
I wanna thank Rebecca Donovan for the most beautiful, angsty, heart-wrenching and heartwarming trilogy of all times. And for giving us the most perfect book boyfriend ever! I'm hoping with all my might that she keeps writing. I can't wait to see what her next story will be about, but I'm 100% sure it'll be amazing.
