This trilogy was amazing. Within the first 100 pages I was angry, cried, laughed, and totally fed up. I couldn't put the books down and ended up reading the trilogy within 1 week.
Background: Emma Thomas is living with her aunt and uncle because her father passed away and her mother chose to deal with this by way of drugs and alcohol. Her best friend is Sara McKinley and she's the only one who knows Emma's secret. Then Evan Mathews comes to town. There is an instant connection between the two but Emma is trying to conceal her secret from him.
This series covers a lot of tough issues: abuse, love, trust, suicide, and the consequences of your actions. Alcohol and drug use are a large part of the series and draws a lot of attention to the issues associated with these activities. They are good eye-opener books that I think every teenager and college student should read.
This is an odd love story, of sorts, but it's hard to walk away from. You see a great amount of character development throughout the series. Just when you think you have it all figured out, yet another twist is thrown in.
The three books are Reason to Breathe, Barely Breathing, and Out of Breath. They are excellent books that keep your attention all the way through.
Hope you enjoy a good book today!!
