Out of Breath by Rebecca Donovan
4.0
“Every breath I breathe is because of you.” His eyes flickered, still peering into mine. “Even when you weren’t there to save me, you were my reason to breathe. And for that I will always love you. Always.”
~ Evan
“Living in the mistakes of your past isn’t going to do anything but destroy your future.” ~ Evan
This book made me a hot mess!!!!
I admit that I had to go back and read Barely Breathing because it’s been so long and I loved it even more the second time. If I could have been patient before tearing into Out of Breath, I would’ve gone back and reread the entire series, but patience isn’t my strong suit so I regress.
I love this series. It’s a hard series to read so if you want sunshine and butterflies, you need to go find another book. This book is hard core and a complete emotional roller coaster! There were times I just wanted to throw my Kindle I would get so frustrated with Emma, but damn that girl has had it rough. It’s hard not to sympathize with her. I admit I can’t remember many scenes where Emma makes me want to smile, but there are so many that make me want to cry and scream (A LOT) all at the same time.
“I cried for the little girl who lost her father but never had a mother. I cried for the girl who only wanted to be accepted, but was never enough. I cried for the girl who suffered unfathomable pain at the hands of hate. I cried for the girl who deserved to be loved but didn’t know how.”~ Emma
I loved the dual POVs. I really enjoyed getting in Evan’s beautiful sexy head!!! I liked the addition of the new characters. I loved the girls, all of Evan’s friends and oh so yummy Cole. I’m hoping to see more of him, but I really wanted more Emma and Evan in this book. I feel a little ripped off. I feel like I was so frustrated for the majority of this book. I mean it’s truly torturous. I feel like the time they took was necessary, but I needed more of them. I need more happy time in a book than what this one gave me, but I loved it all the same.
I have to say, I wasn’t happy with the epilogue. I mean really?!?!?! I needed more, maybe even another book where Emma is a happy girl for a change. Overall, great series! I highly recommend it.
