Breathe Me Duet by C.R, Jane & Ivy Fox -> Starting June 20th, 2022

[Aly]

They say that true love only comes once in a lifetime.
In my case, they were wrong.
I gave my heart away three times.
To the blue eyed sensitive soul, who read poetry when he thought no one was looking.
To the green eyed jock, who made you laugh as hard as he made you cry.
And to the dark eyed boy, whose dark heart only ever beat for me.

They were my everything, until suddenly they weren’t.
They asked me to choose, but they were asking the impossible.

Now it's my turn to ask for more than what they are willing to give.
I only have three months left, and I just want to spend it with them.
Will they accept my offer, or will four hearts live the remaining days of their lives in regret of what could have been?

The letters have been sent.
All that remains is for me to wait.
Wait to see if their hearts are still mine.
Because for as long as mine beats, it will always belong to them

Starting this one now... Don't know if I'm prepared enough emotionally lol. My mom read this and said it's extremely sad, I'm scared!

10% (view spoiler)[Honestly I was worried (and now even more so) that the reason for their separation will be that the heroine didn’t want to choose between them and ran away so she wouldn’t ruin their friendship, or something along those lines. I’ll really be pissed so warnings in case I go off ranting 😂😂😂 (hide spoiler)]

I’m also reading the actual duet version so my comments will be off if you’re reading them individually fyi!

32% (view spoiler)[It's already starting to wear on me.... the secrets. Her keeping her health a secret is beyond wrong. I mean I get her side but at the end of the day she is knowingly putting them through the worst kind of heartbreak and they don't even know to prepare themselves smh. It's selfish and unfair to them and I get she's trying to have the best final months she can but this is not the way :( I'm not sure from here where things will go or how they will end. I'm guessing miraculous recovery or she will sadly die. Hopefully it's neither of those and the authors blow my mind but really I'm already feeling morbid and sad lol (hide spoiler)]

End of Bk 1
(view spoiler)[No surprise I’m mad. Wish she would just speak truth once and for all. Let them know every fucking thing from start to finish whether they want to hear it all or not. She could have avoided this entire situation and whatever event will happen after this one when they find out she’s been lying about her cancer. Ughhhhhhhh wanna slap her… I really do see her side of things only wanting her final time on earth to be the best it can be but she’s being too selfish and already has so much rut between them, this is not right.

72% (view spoiler)[OMG my heart is breaking. Not her dad :( this is so horrible and quite honestly the worst 18th b-day anyone could have. AND WTF IS UP WITH CARTER?!?! What a piece of shit he is. No wonder she ran. This is so fucked up, how can he even be mad when he's the one who told her point blank she'll ruin their lives and won't be able to have them all. OMG I wanna scream and cry (hide spoiler)]

87% (view spoiler)[No surprise they talked her into the surgery. I knew that’s where this was headed as soon as she mentioned her Dr. callin about it.

I defineitly shed some tears. Losing her dad was hard. I have a feeling he would have found a way for them to work something out. At the same I do think they had to live apart to work together better. The way the guys were going to pick for her really bothered me. Which brings me to Carter. I f*cking hate him,, but I really can relate to him unfortunately. He self sabotages everything in his life so the inevitable doesn’t happen. It’s so sad because he then takes away all the possibilities and honestly I thought so many of his behaviors and words went too far. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[This was so heartbreaking but equally pissed me off. The messy drama when they were young still bothers me, I feel personally slighted but really I still can’t say what decision would have been right. In many ways they needed time apart but it was far too long. And losing their friendship was very unfortunate. Good thing they’re all still young. Cute epilogue. Glad they got their HEA. Also surprised but happy with all her cancer treatments she was still able to have kids. Enjoyable but more angsty and emotional than I was ready for. (hide spoiler)]

ohh how are the versions different? i thought it was just book one and two separate but as a boxset? i'm starting it shortly!

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Yeah you can either get the boxset which has both books or read them individually. Didn’t want you to get any spoilers in case you’re not reading the boxset ☺️

[Kade]

Yeah I’ll read book one first and then decide if I want to do book two. But I think it’s still set up the same way for you too where you’ll read book one then go into book two?

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Oh yeah you can do whichever way for the points.
