Try Not to Breathe by Holly Seddon

Try Not to Breathe, a story that slowly pulls you in.  It takes you through the hum-drum life of Alex Dale and into the life of Amy Stevenson- a severely beaten young lady, who's been in a coma for fifteen years.  Yes, you read that correctly, fifteen years.  So what's so interesting about this girl?  
That's what Alex wants to share.

     The story is nicely written and not really for the faint of heart.  There's some serious activity in this book (No SPOILERS because it makes the story) - it made me cringe a bit.  You're given alternating narrations: Alex then Amy, back and forth, which is getting a bit old to me these days.  Everybody wants more than POV- which is cool, but le sigh...

     The thing is, the book is phenom.  The emotions invoked by Seddon is beautiful.  It's a psychological drama that doesn't let go.   I honestly flew through this book in a few days, feeling satisfied by the ending..  Try Not to Breathe was a pleasant read.  Check it out while I move on to the next read!
