Reason to Breathe by Rebecca Donovan is a page turning novel. With intense moments and romantic sense I was unable to stop reading. I loved this book and would recommend it to many people. The theme in this book to me is, when one is losing hope love can be a lifesaver. With her aunt abusing her, her best friend Sara, and her love Evan is the reasons I think this is the theme.
The reason for the main character Emma losing hope is because of her abuse from her aunt. She is regularly abused and it is because of not logical reasons. Her aunt once said she didn't care about anyone else but herself and she was punished. The book states, “I remained in my protective ball, shutting her off and blocking out the fire emblazoning my flesh…” (140 Donovan).
