Narrative During Books Just Breathe
Unexpected change can be like a breath of fresh air-a little brisk at first, but magic for the body and soul.... Sarah Moon tackles life's issues with a sharp wit in her syndicated comic strip Just Breathe. With both Sarah and her cartoon heroine undergoing fertility treatments, her fiction often reflects her reality. However, she hadn't scripted her husband's infidelity. In the wake of her shattered marriage, Sarah flees to the coastal town in Northern California where she grew up. There, she revisits her troubling past: an emotionally distant father, the loss of her mother and an unexpected connection with Will Bonner, the high school heartthrob skewered mercilessly in her comics. But he's been through some changes himself. And just as her heart is about to reawaken, Sarah makes a most startling discovery. She's pregnant. The winds of change have led Sarah to this surprising new beginning. All she can do is just close her eyes...and breathe.

When this book begins 20-something Sarah Moon is undergoing infertility treatments and her husband, a successful contractor, is getting on with his life after recovering from testicular cancer treatment. Sarah has nursed him through it all, putting her life on hold, and is just beginning to get back into the swing of things. She misses the intimacy they once shared but understands that he is still recovering. One afternoon, after going the insemination treatment alone (yet again), she surprises3.5 STARSI went into this book anticipating more romance than it delivered. The h/H don't even meet until the 40% mark, and it has more of a chick-lit vibe. The ending felt incomplete as well. I still enjoy this author's style and will attempt to find more of her romance based books.
I really enjoyed this book. The main character, Sarah Moon, was likeable and believeable. I found myself rooting for her along the story line. The chemistry conveyed between her and Will Bonner, the male lead, is believeable as well. It literally could be felt on the pages :-) and I found myself eagerly reading to see what would happen next. The story line features infertility, infidelity (not giving anything away), and learning how to live and love again. While not everyone has faced any or all
I loved this book...laugh out loud funny at times and heart wrenching at others...just couldn't put it down!There was so much depth in these characters that I enjoyed getting to know them from the first paragraph. There were many things I related to and the emotions brought out were so real that I felt involved with what happened at every page turn.If you enjoy family situations and real life scenerios, you will relate to this one and feel empowered within your own life to be true to your own
Just BreatheSusan WiggsJUST BREATHE by Susan Wiggs hooked me right from the very first page and never let me go!The characters just grabbed my heart and I was instantly emotionally invested in every single one of them. Sarah Moon seems to have the perfect life. She works from home, has a beautiful home, a wonderful husband and everything she thinks she wants. Her husband gets sick but before he goes for treatment, they freeze his sperm so they can continue to try getting pregnant. Sarah thinks
I enjoyed her journey, the parenting issues, and the small town life.If I were reading this as a physical book, I might rate it lower, but as an audiobook it hit the spot. I had just finished some intense mystery suspense books and needed something lighter. It was very good for keeping me company as I drove, cooked, etc. Its about a woman who discovers her husbands infidelity, leaves him, divorces him, and starts a new life.This is not hot and heavy passion and romance. Instead a friendship
Good, not great. I liked the book synopsis, but the story dragged a little. Overall a decent story but nothing I'll read/or listen to again.3.5 Stars
