Breathless by Jessica Warman

4.0

i liked this a lot. after her brother will's public suicide attempt and descent into schizophrenia, katie kittrell leaves for boarding school in west virginia. new friends, her boyfriend drew, and her talent for swimming help her forget about her family in pennsylvania, especially will. when her friends ask, it's easier to say will is dead.

what i loved most here were the characters- so complicated and realistic. estella: the popular bitch who can also be sweet and loving. katie's dad: a workaholic who, despite appearances, really is trying to keep his family together. and my absolute favorite, katie's roommate mazzie: where do i even start? highly recommended.
