Summary
Reason to Breathe is the first book in the million-copy bestselling Breathing Series.

“No one tried to get involved with me, and I kept to myself. This was the place where everything was supposed to be safe and easy. How could Evan Mathews unravel my constant universe in just one day?“

In the affluent town of Weslyn, Connecticut, where most people worry about what to be seen in and who to be seen with, Emma Thomas would rather not be seen at all. She’s more concerned with feigning perfection—pulling down her sleeves to conceal the bruises, not wanting anyone to know how far from perfect her life truly is. Without expecting it, she finds love. It challenges her to recognize her own worth―at the risk of revealing the terrible secret she’s desperate to hide.

Reason to Breathe is one girl’s story of life-changing love, unspeakable cruelty, and her precarious grasp of hope.

Reason to Breathe is definitely heart breaking. I felt so bad for what the heroine is forced to live with, but I also wanted to strangle her at times. I think I have a hard time with a heroine at her age that should be old enough to know that there is help out there. She has good support in her best friend, and then later with her boyfriend—and they basically beg her to let them help her. I just found some of her decisions very difficult to accept—especially at the end. I liked the characters. I like the story. I do not like the ending. At all. Also, I am getting a little intolerant of trilogies lately, so I might be a little biased right now. I just feel sometimes these stories could be told in one book. I am hesitant about whether I want to read three books in this series just to finish and wish they hadn’t dragged it out so long. I’d say I was ready to give this book 5 star until the end. I will continue to book 2 because of the cliffhanger ending. I want to see where the story goes. However, if it starts to drag out and the story doesn’t progress I doubt I’ll finish. Anyone considering reading Reason to Breathe: Don’t even start reading this book unless you have the next ready. It is a huge cliff hanger ending.
