In this excellent novelette by Emma South which takes place in between the events of Writing Our Song, and its fantastic sequel Remember Our Song, we are treated to a small and sweet story wherein we learn more about Bea's world, and ultimately are treated to more of Jeremy being the sweetest man, doing his best to express his love.Once again, Emma South manages to write with smooth and appropriate language, and it is never difficult to read. The words and sentences all have a great flow to them, and that's something that always wins points in my book. I love it when I read a story where the writing is crisp and evocative, without being overburdened with literary flourishes.Breaking Surface depicts a wonderful patience and devotion in Jeremy, and courage in Bea as she acclimatises to her relationship development. You can really see that she's trying.We're invited into Bea's home where she adds her own touches, and the unpacking is a delightful framing device for exploring memories. And, of course, a new memory is created with Jeremy.A nice bridge between the two novels!
