Breathe into Me edition by Amanda Stone Literature Fiction eBooks

Some parts were three-star worthy, and this is definitely not the worst book in this genre that I've read by far, but the lack of originality and spelling/grammatical errors (I did see that there was recent editing done according to the latest description, but the version on my Kindle did not appear to have been updated) took away from a higher rating.
The characters were likeable and fairly well-developed. The biggest negative for me is the "guy with a bad reputation meets an innocent girl and everything changes" theme, which is just so completely overdone and unrealistic. Also, what's up with all these dead parents? I understand tragedies happen and I get that it's much easier for young characters to have more freedom if parents aren't directly involved, but this too is way overdone.
Tiny spoilers past this point.
Kane was very honest with Kelsey about his past, and she'd directly overheard one of his previous flings delusional ramblings, so when she saw what she saw, why did she assume the worst? OF COURSE something like that was going to happen. The unnecessary drama was a turn-off for me.
The ending was neither great nor horrible, everything was wrapped up and there seemed to be some closure, even if it was pretty simple.

Breathe into Me edition by Amanda Stone Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

Alright, so the storyline is pretty typical to a lot of NA novels out there. You have the girl escaping from something terrible from her past, a tattooed bad boy and then they fall in love. Even though this type of plot is used quite a bit, I still enjoy reading it because it's kind of addicting and some have been done really well (for example Easy by Tammara Webber and Charade by Nyrae Dawn).

However, I had a few problems with this one. I would have still given it 4 stars despite the problems but then the ending happened. I'll get to that.

So first, you have Kelsey, who has experienced something horrendous six years ago--it's so awful she hasn't told a single soul. Only her best friend Jessi knows and that's only because they were best friends when it happened. And here's problem #1 She meets Kane, described as a hot, tattooed bad boy and after a week of some interactions, it is somehow supposed to be believable that she now trusts him so completely that she tells him everything. Granted, Kane had opened up to her first (begging the question, wait, he trusts her enough too?) but she's been holding onto this for SIX YEARS. That seemed a stretch to me. I don't really like insta-love situations and this was basically that. Everything just happens all of a sudden and they're crazy in love and I couldn't buy it.

Secondly, Kane is not actually a bad boy! Yes, he has tattoos and piercings and he has a past reputation but that's it. For all intents and purposes, he was the nicest, sweetest guy ever. We're just told he was bad and he had changed but since he's already a changed man, we miss out on that character development.

Thirdly... There's this weird hate going on between Kane and Nate, a secondary character, and it's built up every single time they come into contact with each other. However, never once was this explained. So that was a little odd. I mean, Kane has this tremendous animosity toward Nate and I kept expecting Kelsey to ask, or Kane to explain or something to come of it, and I waited for it. But nothing happens. It's kind of just never addressed again. I guess I'm curious why it was built up so much if she didn't intend on doing something with it.

So all of this taken into consideration, I still liked it enough to give it 4 stars. I really liked Kane! I can overlook the insta-love (a little) and I mean, there were parts that made me smile. Kane's Maw and Paw were awesome. Those two were probably my favorite characters in the whole book and we only saw them for a little part. They were just so funny, insightful and genuine! You had to love them.

But then the ending. Oh my God. I literally was staring at my , muttering "what??" Now, I'm not going to spoil it but some crazy things go down and what I could NOT get over, and what makes me bump it down a star is the fact that I wanted to throw punches at everyone. They start doing very uncharacteristic things (especially one person in particular) and it was just so out of the blue!

Now, I realize that Breathe Into Me has gotten very good reviews from and Goodreads so, clearly many, many people still liked it. You should check it out if you think you'll still enjoy it despite what I've mentioned.
This book was barely just ok to me. I didn't have a connection to the characters like you should have when you're reading a book. But that could be due to the editing issues ex misspelled words and grammatical errors that took away from the book. The author had a great idea but it just wasn't executed correctly. I mean I don't hate it and I don't like it I'm kinda of right dab in the middle of....well whatever word you would use to describe what I just said. Kane I liked him he was written ok but I didn't love him however I did love his description and the lip ring did me in I must say. Kelsey.....lets just say I was more interested in her best friend Jessi than whatever she had going on. Then the whole thing with Nate came out of left field! Like really it's like the author literally pulled that out her butt and said here let me wipe this ish in this book to give them some ish to read. Then the whole thing with her(Kelsey's) father popping up too it's like Ms. Stone just threw some crap in here for us to read and slapped a price on this book.

This book didn't do it for me it started off good but then it became choppy and then just flat out WTF? In my opinion I say don't get this book borrow it if you must read it but you're not missing anything good if you pass up this book. Normally I will say this review is based on the book and not the author. Well this time I can't say that it's like this author put no real effort into this book. I mean having a editor edit this book would of been enough effort for me to overlook how poorly written this book was. Now I know it takes a author a longer time to write a book than it does us readers to read.....but in THIS case. I think it took the author the same amount of time to write this book as it did us to read it. It's really like she typed this book as the thoughts formed in her head, didn't reread to check for errors, & just put it out as soon as she finished typing the last word.
Some parts were three-star worthy, and this is definitely not the worst book in this genre that I've read by far, but the lack of originality and spelling/grammatical errors (I did see that there was recent editing done according to the latest description, but the version on my did not appear to have been updated) took away from a higher rating.
