Here's some info about the book:
Joy Delamere is suffocating...
From asthma, which has nearly claimed her life. From her parents, who will do anything to keep that from happening. From delectably dangerous Asher, who is smothering her from the inside out.
Joy can take his words—tender words, cruel words—until the night they go too far.
Now, Joy will leave everything behind to find the one who has offered his help, a homeless boy called Creed. She will become someone else. She will learn to survive. She will breathe…if only she can get to Creed before it’s too late.
Set against the gritty backdrop of Seattle’s streets and a cast of characters with secrets of their own, Holly Cupala’s powerful new novel explores the subtleties of abuse, the meaning of love, and how far a girl will go to discover her own strength.
Some amazing YA authors have also chimed in about it's excellence!

ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about Holly Cupala's work, and I think it's time for me to read another book about breaking free.
ReplyDeleteI want to read this book because I can relate to the idea of being smothered because of something medical. When I was younger it was asthma and now that I'm older it's anxiety.
