Breathless is a spectacular book; I just couldn't put it down! I felt strongly and emotionally for the main character, Katie Kitrell, who intends to fit in her new boarding school even though her past is wretched with pain of her mentally-lost, violent schizophrenic brother, Will. Through sketchy lies, Katie was able to fit in with the It-crowd complete a boyfriend and loads of friends - all in which likes to party, drink, and... party more. She's already cute and an adroit swimmer, so hiding the fact that she was from a broken family was the only thing left she needed to do to gain acceptance from the snobs of her school. Maintaining popularity becomes harder for Katie when the truth of her real background threatens to break away.

This book was unlike any book I've ever read, and I enjoyed every page. It seemed a little autobiographical because the characters were drawn up to feel so real to the reader, to the fact where you just want to sympathesize for them. The realism in this story was vivid and I would like to read more from this author.
