Breathless - Lurlene McDaniel
3 1/2 stars -

This story is told from four different and unique perspectives - Travis, Emily the sister, Cooper the best friend and Darla the girlfriend. Each of the characters different points of view and how they related to each other with what was going on with Travis was written well. With the four different characters getting a chance to tell their point of view from a different angle the author covers many of the different choices one might or could make in such a horrible situation.

I found this story depressing due to the sensitive subject matter and the raw emotions written within each of the characters. It made me think what I REALLY would do if put in this situation. The author is correct in saying that we all might think we know what we would do, however until we are put in that actual situation we'd surprise ourselves at what we would actually do.

It was a quick read that was written extremely well for such a hard subject matter and the story itself gives a person so much to think about. If you haven't read this book be aware that its controversial subject matter is raw as are emotions, you might want to have a tissue handy.
