This book just made me so giggly happy. You know, like when you're happy and you can't stop giggling about it.

For once, the characters acted like the adults they are, where "oh, you like me? We should date," happened instead of a frustrating will they, won't they situation. For once, characters recognized they had emotional issues and sought professional, familial, and friendly help. For once, everyone did the right thing and was happy AND I WAS SO HAPPY, OMG.

Ahhhhh, AS YOU BREATHE AGAIN is such a breath of fresh air in a genre fraught with dramatic emotional silliness. One of the reasons it took me so long to read (besides that it was on my Kindle) was it became my happy place and I wanted to savor it. The love scenes were frequent and excellent and awkward to read at work. For those who read AS YOU TURN AWAY, there's plenty of Jonah/Quinn adorbs. I excitedly look forward to the third Walker Boy book, and not just because I have a sneaking suspicion it will be hella gay *side-eyes Darren & Ethan* *prays to the Catholic God that they will make out*
