<i>I was given a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review </i><b> Dare to Breathe</b> is an utterly heart-wrenching story of two broken souls finding each other and finally being able to piece themselves together again. Sam has been plagued with horrifying nightmares for as long as she can remember. Under the cover of darkness, her past is able to reveal itself in snapshots through these nightmares. Now that she is in college, her nightly screams have pushes her roommate to her breaking point and is forced to find a new place to live.It is here that she first meets Nathan. He is a typical college kid, from the outside at least, and seems to always have some nameless girl in his sheets each night. Sam notices that Nathan, along with their other roommates, seem to have a big secret they have been hiding from her. Though it peaks her curiosity, Sam can relate because she, too, has secrets of her own.After some time, Sam is able to discover what her new housemates have been hiding. This new revelation allows Sam to understand Nathan a little more and the connection they seem to have continues to grow stronger. Nathan's strength and compassion give Sam the courage to dig deep into the recesses of her mind to find the source of her pain and the answers to what happened all those years ago.I really enjoyed this book. The plot held a lot if different layers which helped hold my interest. I enjoyed the connection between the roommates and how they were able to all come together through their own tragedies.
