Reviews with content warning for Grief - The Air He Breathes

I have mixed feelings. It is a unique story, and I haven’t read anything like this before. There was a lot going on between the stuff with Lizzie and the stuff with Tristan and the stuff with Tanner and the town. And then the plot twist at the end threw me again. Multiple times that I said out loud “well that’s weird”

The first book in a long time that genuinely made me cry 😭 This was such a beautiful but heartbreaking story.

Two broken people find solace with each other. I loved how you can really see how their relationship develops into something romantic.

I enjoyed the way grief was depicted in here, it felt very realistic and the way we can see different perspectives of people coping with grief.

And I enjoyed the unexpected plot twist, definitely didn’t see that coming.

This was such an amazing read, definitely going on my top reads for 2024!

Highly emotional. The main characters go through a lot of grief/loss in their journey before they find happiness/acceptance and it's a rollercoaster.

I cried a lot.

I am e m o finishing this book. BCC truly has a way to evoke such strong emotions while reading her stories. The characters are flawed yet realistic and easy to get attached to.

My heart shattered, smiled, & swooned throughout this journey of two broken people finding their way back into the light together. It was a beautiful experience watching Tristan and Elizabeth fall in love, but not without their trials I might add. BCC really threw in a few plot twists that I didn't see coming in the end to push that metaphorical knife deeper into my already crushed heart.

"you don't have to be good all the time. it's okay to be hurt sometimes. it's okay to feel lost, like you're wandering around in the dark. it's the bad days that make the good ones so much better."

If you enjoy reading books that make you cry, but also feature a stunning romance- pick this up & pick up this author because she sure knows how to bring the tears!!!
