Breathe by Elena DillonRating5*****This book was provided free from the author in exchange for honest literary review.  The opinions voiced here are solely my own.Jas has lived through trauma no teenager should ever face.  Her sister Daisy was brutally murdered not far from their home In California over two years ago.  Her murderer still walks the streets in anonymity a free man, and the police have no leads.  Jas's mom and siblings Lily and Caeden have tried to start over but the memories just haunt them. With heavy hearts and high hopes they relocate to Lafayette, LA.As soon as they get settled it seems that the move has been just the jump start to help Has and her family start living a life.  Each one seems to be coming out of a two year daze and rediscovering who they are as people.  Jas begins to relax and finally start bein a normal teen.  Quickly she meets Easton, and their romance begins.  It isn't long,however, until Jas realizes she may never be free from the memories of the past. Someone or something just won't give her a chance to breathe......What an awesome novel!!!! To be a debut it is absolutely phenomenal. You can't help but love Jas and her family. Just a typical all around family who Jas been through a lot of trauma.  The characters are believable, extremely well developed, and provoke emotion .  The plot if extremely fast paced, and I have to say this is one of those novels that you just simply. cannot put down.  The editing is superb...even the teen lingo. I could have sat and read about Jas for several more hours and days.  Overall one of the better books I have had the opportunity to review. I would HIGHLY recommend this one to anyone, not only is it a good YA novel but it has appeal to a larger audience than just this audience.  It is an excellent thriller and romance that can be enjoyed by the mature audiences as well.  I will revisit this one again.Michelle McQueenBook on the Bright Side Review Team
