This was a wonderful, coming of age and into their own, hot and heartwarming book that made me so freaking happy!!! Christina Lee knocked it out of the park with her third book in the Between Breaths series.I found both Kai and Rachel so very relatable in different ways. They were really great, well written characters filled with so much depth and vulnerability, I was immediately pulled into their stories. I kept rooting for Kai and Rachel on their personal journeys as well as them coming together. Such wonderful yet slightly lost souls finding their way and I had this sincere feeling of happiness with how it all played out.Great build, tension, angst, and longing throughout.  Kai and Rachel together, after being friends for so long, it was more than chemistry or a pull, it was a this incredibly strong bond. That foundation led us through an awesome story of emotion, fun, and some seriously HOT times. I mean really, the schmexy was WOW! By 15% I was thinking holymotherofhot... fans self... cold shower.Kai’s journey really got to me… talk about growth! There’s a moment at the end with his parents – gah! I really liked Kia but but by the end I loved him. I loved how strong Rachel became with working out her past issues. We see Rachel's college friend and I about flipped with the Avery and Bennett element that came into play. Yay to that! I like all the secondary characters and would like to see what happens with Dakota and Shane (totally saw that coming!) or even with Nick.This was just a fantastic story. There were a few angsty moments throughout as well as some emotional times. I got teary eyed several times and the ending, I might have been a mess because it was just so fantastic with an awwww! heart filled moment! Loved it all!Complimentary copy received for honest review.
