Read 2 times. Last read May 13, 2024.
My first 5 star read for 2016.
"In the blink of an eye, in one moment's time, everything I knew about life changed."
I loved this opening quote because it's holds true for all of us. It's relatable and makes us feel the story even deeper. Life is unpredictable and our paths can be altered in just the blink of an eye. Adventuring with the characters on their journey from hurt-to-healing-to-finding love is one that kept me up reading late into the night.
I enjoyed The Air He Breathes even though I had a moment where this book dipped below 5 stars for me. I found the ending with Tanner to be over the top drama that didn't match up with the flow of the story. After pondering my star rating I decided that for 95% of the book it was definitely worthy of five stars and that OTT moment is something I can look past. Alright enough about that part because the rest of the book was fantastic.
For those who haven't read it yet...what are you waiting for?!

I'm so glad you liked it! I know exactly what you mean about the OTT moment. I felt the same at first. But after sitting on it for a couple of days, realized that it did not diminish my feelings for the overall story.
Yay! For conquering reading goals!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Yes! You loved it too! This book was one of my top 10 favorites last year. I found myself a new auto-buy author when I read this. Lovely review, Amy! xx
