Breathe by Sarah Crossan
Inhale. Exhale. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe . . .
The world is dead.
The survivors live under the protection of Breathe, the corporation that found a way to manufacture oxygen-rich air.
ALINA
has been stealing for a long time. She’s a little jittery, but not terrified. All she knows is that she’s never been caught before. If she’s careful, it’ll be easy. If she’s careful.
QUINN
should be worried about Alina and a bit afraid for himself, too, but even though this is dangerous, it’s also the most interesting thing to happen to him in ages. It isn’t every day that the girl of your dreams asks you to rescue her.
BEA
wants to tell him that none of this is fair; they’d planned a trip together, the two of them, and she’d hoped he’d discover her out here, not another girl.
And as they walk into the Outlands with two days’ worth of oxygen in their tanks, everything they believe will be shattered. Will they be able to make it back? Will they want to?

ReplyDeleteThis book has been on my TBR list (: I want to say that this author and I have a lot in common when it comes to our top ten favorite places in the world. I've been to quite a few of those places and I'm dying to go to Hawaii and New Zealand and such. Then I'm sure they'd make my list. But at this very moment my list is full of destinations like NYC, Ireland, London England, Rome Italy, Greece, Malta, etc. <3
