Publisher's summary

Out of Breath is the third book in the million-copy bestselling Breathing Series.

“My insides still burned. I considered what I could do to push the torment back into the dark and return to my numb state. I couldn’t do it on my own. I needed help. I was desperate.”

Emma Thomas is hiding. From everything and everyone...including herself. But she can’t hide forever. Her past will find her, and her secrets won’t remain quiet - not if she wants to be forgiven. Emma learns that honesty can hurt worse than betrayal, and the truth may cost her the only love she’s ever known.

The highly anticipated conclusion of The Breathing Series will have readers holding their breath until the last page.

Heart wrenching!!

This is a series I've always had a hard time putting down, even for sleep... I don't usually watch a tear jerking movie more than once but this series is definitely the exception. Actually I've read 4 or 5 times. The trials Emma has to live thru are so heart breaking. There were so many twists and turns throughout the series that it keeps you sitting at the edge of your seat.. I totally recommend this series for your next read!!

Ending

I expected more from the epilogue. A more elaborate ending would have been perfect.

interesting timeline

Any additional comments?

thinking I will get the paperback. The back-and-forth of character monologue became dreary after a while and I suspect even the narrator had difficulties staying on track of whom was speaking. They all sound the same from here. Nice effort.

Good book

Life isn't as it always seems. It's hard to understand what should seem easy really isn't.

Perfect ending to the series

Just as promised I was holding my breath until the very end. This was a crazy emotional read from beginning to end. I.AM.EMOTIONALLY.SPENT! Stick a fork in me I'm done!

Emma is an exhausting character and difficult to love, but she is consistent in her backwards thinking, annoying and very damaged. (We could never be friends...way too much drama...and then there is all of the crazy!) I felt like I was watching her self destruct, and it was painful. This book is mostly dark and depressing. I felt it was mostly appropriate for this series...but come on...I wanted to slit my wrists with all of the darkness. On a good note...I love the boys in this book...they kept me going. My heart ached for Evan...he must be a saint of sorts to handle all of this...right?

I didn't love this book like the others in the series but I did like the way the series ended. What can I say...I found this book exhausting. Have I mentioned that yet? Overall, I am glad that I read it and that now I have closure. It is a series worth reading.

Again Kate Rudd was fantastic in the delivery of the story

Good Ending to a GREAT Series!

I didn't LOVE this book as much as I LOVED the 1st two but that is sure asking for a lot! The 1st part of this book was good and had you wondering where the story was going, the middle was a bunch of nothing really and the end was exactly what I wanted and expected. I didn't end this feeling like I was left hanging. I loved this series so much that I will buy anything else written by Rebecca Donovan!!
