Karen White's book "Learning to Breathe" was a nice story. It was touching in all the right spots and even brought a tear of two to my eyes as the story of a life lived unfolded with disappointments and joy, but ... it didn't take my breath away.
The book was a disappointment in it's predictability. I knew within the first few letters read by Brenna who the mysterious ME was. I knew who she would end up with in the end. I could tell who the mysterious newcomer was within a few chapters of his arrival. It was all very easy to figure out and left that element of suspense back at the book store once you purchased the book and began to read it. I will say the path through the story was well woven, just not intriguing.
It's a fun, quick, easy read - great for a plane ride or a trip to the beach to absorb you just enough but to not make you think too hard about what's in front of you.
Don't expect any wild revelations or even twists or turns in this warmhearted book about overcoming hurdles, sometimes even the ones there from your very own family, and accepting the chance for happiness for what it is and not worrying about how it may feel if you lose it.
