From Jennifer Niven, the New York Times bestselling
author of All the Bright Places, comes an unforgettable new novel about
a sensitive girl ready to live her bravest life--sex, heartbreak, family
dramas, and all.
Before: With graduation on the horizon, budding writer Claudine Henry is making
plans: college in the fall, become a famous author, and maybe--finally--have
sex. She doesn't even need to be in love. Then her dad drops a bombshell: he's
leaving Claude's mother. Suddenly, Claude's entire world feels like a lie, and
her future anything but under control.
After: Claude's mom whisks them away to the last place Claude could imagine
nursing a broken heart: a remote, mosquito-infested island off the coast of
Georgia. But then Jeremiah Crew happens. Miah is a local trail guide with a
passion for photography--and a past he doesn't like to talk about. He's brash
and enigmatic, and even more infuriatingly, he's the only one who seems to see
Claude for who she wants to be. So when Claude decides to sleep with Miah, she
tells herself it's just sex, nothing more. There's not enough time to fall in
love, especially if it means putting her already broken heart at risk.
Compulsively readable and impossible to forget, Jennifer
Niven's luminous new novel is an insightful portrait of a young woman ready to
write her own story.
My Thoughts: I wasn't certain when I began Breathless if I was going to enjoy it or not because I found the main character Claude kind of obnoxious and all the talk about her virginity and all. But as we get deeper into the story and Claude's world gets pretty much upended and snatched from under her that I begin seeing a different side of her and my heart opened up to her and the things she was going thru. I did enjoy the time we got to spend on the island and the romance between Claude and Miah so much!
I feel like due to some of the subject matter that this may be more of an upper teen read but one that is well worth taking the time to read and discuss and can't imagine not seeing it in the young adult section of libraries everywhere! 4/5 stars for me!
