Breathing by Cheryl Renee Herbsman


Addicting!


What if the guy who took your breath away was the only one who could help you breathe? Savannah would be happy to spend the summer in her coastal Carolina town lying in a hammock reading her beloved romance novels and working at the library. But then she meets Jackson. Once they lock eyes, she’s convinced he’s the one—her true love, her soul mate, a boy different from all the rest. And at first it looks like Savannah is right. Jackson abides by her mama’s strict rules, and stays by her side during a hospitalization for severe asthma, which Savannah becomes convinced is only improving because Jackson is there. But when he’s called away to help his family—and seems uncertain about returning—Savannah has to learn to breathe on her own, both literally and figuratively.


I started reading this book at midnight, with hopes of reading the first few chapters. My plan didn't go as I expected. I ended up going to bed at 3am. I loved this book. And, it pulled me in. To the point of me only stopping when I was done reading the book.
Cheryl Renee Herbsman created amazing characters. There was one part when I wanted to jump into the book and continually slap Jackson. Then, on the next page, I would want to go and hug him.
This is a breath-taking book.
The characters came alive, and I loved it!
