It's not a follow-up to Try Not To Breathe and I'm really enjoying getting to know this new set of characters.

Like Try Not To Breathe the action takes place across several decades, so I get to make hundreds of Spotify playlists and Pinterest boards of the clothes and locations. Definitely a perk. (less)

Quotes by Holly Seddon  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Time is not a good healer. Time is a blank page on which the left behind scribble their regrets and their confessions.”
Holly Seddon, Try Not to Breathe

“When I woke up this time, the dream was still hanging around me, caught in my sheets and my hair.”
Holly Seddon, Try Not to Breathe

“Fear was the undercurrent, always threatening to whip his legs from under him. Fear was a secondary heartbeat only he could hear, that could get so quiet it was almost imperceptible, or so loud it drowned everything else out.”
Holly Seddon, Try Not to Breathe
