Breathe is the newly released novel by Elena Dillon and one that I truly loved. "Most days I can almost forget someone murdered my sister." From that first line, I was hooked. I just could not put the book down. I loved everything about this book, especially that it made me feel so deeply for the characters. I laughed with Jasmine, I cried with her. I felt her fear and her frustration. I felt her happiness. I absolutely love suspense novels and had not read a young adult version that wasn't paranormal so that was a nice change. I was kept on the edge of my seat for the whole book, lots of unexpected twists that kept me from figuring it out.
Suspense was the name of the game for this book, but there was also plenty of room for other parts of Jasmine's life. There was all the boy-girl romance you could want, the pre-requisite girl time, and all the angst of being a teenage girl. I particularly loved the scenes between Jasmine and her little brother and their pranking.
A fantastic read that I absolutely recommend!
