From New York Times bestselling author Sara Fawkes, Breathe Into Me is an edgy New Adult novel that follows a young woman who finds redemption in love.

How did my life get so broken? It's a question Lacey St. James asks herself every day. Stuck raising her little brother in a trailer park while she works a dead end job at a grocery store, she has a stalker exboyfriend, a bad reputation, and no way out.

And then, she meets Everett, who changes her entire existence.

Everett is an outsider who's housesitting his family's mansion off the coast, and for reasons Lacey can't understand, he's completely transfixed by her. He seems determined to show her that life can offer more than she'd ever hoped for, if only she believes in herself. She desperately yearns to trust him, but what happens when she finds out that everything he's told her is a lie?

What disappointed you about Breathe into Me?

I can't put a finger on it. It took 8 hrs to find out what happened with Everett. The leading lady cried too much and didn't help her self

What do you think your next listen will be?

I am not sure

I wanted to love this, and I really thought I was going too as I started to read. However; I was left a little disappointed. If you can think of a plot device I feel it was in here. There was almost too much going on in this one. I wanted more of certain sub plots, but they all fell a little short for me. There were too many thrown into the story and not enough information around any of them. Even the side characters had intense stories surrounding them, and I found myself rolling my eyes when a new story was revealed. I think this would have been an outstanding read if the author only focused on the home life of Lacey. All the other things just took away from the story. Overall, this was a disappointment.
