Every Breath is the second novel from author Tasha Ivey, and Book One in the Every Life Series.If I had to describe this book in one word it would be PHENOMENAL. Actually, I don't even know if that word can convey just how incredible this read was.Every Breath was an emotional roller coaster that was full of comedic moments, shocking twists, and soul shattering, heart-wrenching moments. This story really took me through a full range of emotions, and I happily let it.I often find it takes reading a couple of chapters in a book before I can honestly say I'm engaged in the story. Tasha had me intrigued by the end of the first sentence."Murder has now been added to my to-do list for the day."And she held my attention all the way through to the final sentence."I let a slight grin curl the edges of my lips. `Forever isn't long enough.'"Something I loved about the novel was how realistic the characters' reactions to situations and obstacles were. There is a refreshing wit and humor in these characters that makes them realistic and relatable. Even if you haven't experienced a situation similar to Makenna's, you still connect with the heroine and root for her chapter after chapter."And only moments ago, he kissed me. I touch my lips and smile like a teenage girl. I think this is the part where I'm supposed to call all of my friends, dance in front of my mirror, and write all about it in my Lisa Frank diary."The quote above is quite possibly my absolute favorite book quote ever written. If you didn't grow up in the 1980s-1990s loving Lisa Frank stuff, you haven't truly lived. This quote is what turned me in to a Tasha Ivey Fan Girl.Every Breath was hands down one of my favorite books of all time. I cannot gush enough about how much I loved every single word of this book. If you are looking for a book that will have you laughing, swooning, and ugly crying until you can't breathe or see straight, this book is perfect for you. Heck, even if you're not looking for all of those things, you MUST one-click this novel. It is above and beyond phenomenal and leaves you with one hell of a book hangover.
