Review — Waiting to Breathe by Alyson Reynolds


***********************************************************
3 stars

Waiting to Breathe was the first book I've read by Alyson Reynolds. I was very intrigued when I read the description and was very anxious to dive in. I wanted to love this book so, so much and had such high hopes. Sadly, I was let down some. Olivia drove me crazy. She seemed very dramatic. Her big secret was blown out of proportion. I was expecting something much, much worse than what actually had happened. 

Another problem I had with Olivia was how she handled her trust issue with her boyfriend, Nate. She acted extremely immature, and again dramatic. It just really bugged me how childish and melodramatic her character was throughout the entire book.

I'm thankful that I get to be someone who helps put the pieces back together every day.

The saving grace was Nate. He was a phenominal character for me. I loved how he loved Olivia and the patience he showed her. I loved his friendship with Olivia's twin, Finn. The bromance was epic! I also thoroughly enjoyed how wonderful Nate was with his family. You could tell he truly cared for his mom and brothers. 

All in all, I did enjoy the story and I will read Finn and Cora's story. If you can get past Olivia's dramatic character and behavior, it is a nice story.
