by
Kendall Grey
Twelve-year-old Zoe Morgan has always felt out of place. With no friends, an overbearing mother, and a broken brain, it’s no wonder she’s a walking disaster. Trapped in a world dominated by backward letters that don’t make sense, she struggles through each day by clinging to the one thing she does understand: whales. On a life-changing trip to Australia, Zoe comes face to...more

"Tell me I'm somebody, she mentally begged. That I'm worthy. And not stupid."
Letting Go is about twelve-year-old Zoe Morgan who struggles daily with being different. It doesn't help Zoe at all that her mother views different as a disability and deems it unacceptable.
On a trip to Australia to see the whales, something that totally fascinates Zoe, a man approaches her on the street, offering her a wooden falcon, which will change everything...

Letting Go by Kendall Grey is a short story from the Just Breathe Trilogy Letting Go touches on Zoe and her mother when she was 12. This was a fantastic short that really allows you to view deeper into Zoe’s history and some of the fundamentals of a turning point in her life. Letting Go was a magically written and emotionally driven piece of work. If you have not read Inhale or Exhale you are truly missing out. Not just on the...more

Letting Go is another beautiful Ephemera short story from Kendall Grey. I love that she is using the Ephemera stories to go back into Inhale and give the reader more insight into her characters and their back story.
Letting Go travels twenty(ish)years back in time. Zoe is struggling to survive under her mother's frigid rule. I always knew Zoe had a difficult upbringing, but I never understand just how unhappy she was as a child. Letting Go helped me to understand why Zoe works so hard as an adul...more

A lovely treat to satisfy any Just Breathe fan!
What a beautiful companion short story! Letting Go is the story of a memory mentioned in Inhale. It gives us insight into Zoe's life when she was young. It's that moment that has to do with the carved bird. If you've read Inhale, then you'll want to read about that moment in Zoe's past, and this is it! We also get to see how Zoe struggled to work through her insecurities, the type of relationship she had with her mother, and finally, that defining m...more

This story shows how paths can cross before we meet… maybe we are destined to meet a friend, an enemy, or our soul mate. You just never know. I really liked this story. For one thing, it was wildly different from Stifle, but it still showed this important history of Zoe. It was really quite inspiring, actually. You think it can’t get much worse, but with the flap of a butterfly’s wings your entire future is set in motion.

Letting Go gives 'Just Breathe' series fans a look into Zoe's childhood. This short story gives fans first row seats to the very first encounter between Zoe and Gavin when she was 12 and he was 4. We get to learn more about the dynamic between Zoe and her mom, Candace, and see the experience that solidified her love of whales - the moment she knew her life's purpose. It was short, but poignant and does a wonderful job of filling in some of the blanks between Zoe and Gavin.
This was amazing!
Letting Go takes us back to Zoe's childhood where we learn about her love for whales, the reason behind her insecurities in life and the connection between her, Gavin and Yileen :) The whole ephemera is entirely spiritual and tear-jerking! Totally Loved it and I cant wait for Just Breathe to come out :D

I love this series and was so excited to see a short about Zoe as a child.
"This bird is your destiny.". LOVE it!!!!!
Not only do we get to see the story of the carved bird, but we also get to see more of the relationship she has with her mother and the first magical time she meets a whale.
This is a wonderful addition to an amazing series!

I cant believe how badly Zoe's mother treated her for things that werent her fault. Zoe's mother thinks that her daughter is an embarrassment because she is dyslexic, has a social disorder, and suffers from panic attacks. But I know that she grows up to be a cetacean biologist. None of Zoe's problems are things that would effect her intelligence, so I hate how her mother makes her feel stupid, but I am so glad to know that she one day succeeds anyone.
This was a sweet read. We get to really see what makes Zoe tick. I love Zoe. I do. I love her even when she flip flops back and forth as she over thinks things instead of just trusting things will work out. I love her always.
Zoe has had it rough but has been able to shelf a lifetime of put downs to achieve success in her life. What Letting Go does is that it allows you to better understand that she needs to heal and why it might take a lifetime to achieve it. You also get a better understanding...more

This made me teary-eyed! I truly loved the Kendall decided to share with us the story of young Zoe and Gavin and their special encounter, years before they knew the importance of it. ♥
You finally find out the Mother - daughter relationship behind the comments from the two books. It gives a clear light on why Zoe feels the way she does about herself sometimes.
4.5 stars - touching expounding of the origin story connecting many of the primary characters and a portion of the early story.
The things I have heard about this book is pretty awesome.I haven't read it yet.
Wow Zoe's mom is a major bitch.
Short. Sweet. Perfect.
Very sweet!!!
A short read about Zoe in the past.... What we really need is one of these from Gavin's pov!
