Reviews
Attention to detail and character development are strong in this brief novel. --Hip Librarian's Book Blog (11/01/2005) Teen girls, reluctant readers or not, will likely engage with Breathless because of its emotional appeal, vivid imagery, realistically portrayed characters and engaging brief narrative. As well, the same audience will likely identify with the book's majors themes: sexuality and sexual curiosity, insecurity and problems arising with self-doubt. Recommended. -- (02/03/2006)
