Can’t Catch My Breath by Sarah Sutton
Click photo above to read!
MY REVIEW: Heart wrenching. Poor Addy and Vincent 💔Writing a good romance story with death and grief mixed in can be difficult but Sarah Sutton nailed it with this one. Once I picked it up it was impossible to put down, the story just draws you in immediately! The characters were so beautifully written, all the emotions were so raw and real, I loved it so so much🥰
Note: this was seriously a favorite of mine literally up until the very last page💔 using the Lord’s name in vain is not something I take lightly and it was used on the last page, which just makes me sad and annoyed because there is absolutely no need for that! This was a 5-star story for me in many ways, but because of the language at the end, I can’t fully recommend it and am lowering the rating

OVERVIEW: HOLD ONTO THE PAST OR EMBRACE THE FUTURE?
Addy Arden lives in a land called denial.
After losing her dad in a car accident, she’d rather pretend things are okay than be crushed by grief and guilt. Her friends buy the fake smiles and her mom doesn’t seem to notice…or care.
And Addy is doing great until she’s paired with Vincent Castello, the most intimidating senior at Greenville High, for a class project. Interview a random classmate and write a report on them. Should be easy, right?
Not by a longshot.
Because the car accident that killed Addy’s dad? It left Vincent’s father paralyzed.
Talk about an awkward ice-breaker.
As the two grow closer, can Addy face her grief and guilt head-on and put her past behind her, or will she let it consume her, and lose the guy who truly takes her breath away?
