Breathless by Jennifer Niven
2.0
1.5 stars
Niven is one of my favorite authors of all time. All the Bright Places and Holding Up the Universe touched places that I didn’t know existed.
But Breathless was an absolute disappointment. Breathless was such an infuriating book. The male protagonist Jeremiah was raising SO many red flags throughout the book that I never liked him. None of his struggles that were described in the book ever felt real. Claude was also a completely flat character who had no substance though Niven tried hard to make her into something. The side characters were nothing and didn’t add anything to the main story. The plot was nonexistent and forgettable.
I’m mad at myself for spending my money on this book. I only buy books that I know I’ll like and I took my chances on this one. Never again.
