Review: Breathe by Abbi Glines

Breathe by Abbi Glines
Pages: 219
Format: eBook

   Sadie White's summer job isn't going to be on the beach life-guarding or working at rental booths like most kids her age. With her single mother's increasing pregnancy and refusal to work, Sadie has to take over her mother's job as a domestic servant for one of the wealthy summer families on a nearby island.

   When the family arrives at their summer getaway, Sadie is surprised to learn that the owner of the house is Jax Stone, one of the hottest teen rockers in the world. If Sadie hadn't spent her life raising her mother and taking care of the house she might have been normal enough to be excited about working for a rock star.
   Even though Sadie isn't impressed by Jax's fame, he is drawn to her. Everything about Sadie fascinates Jax but he fights his attraction. Relationship's never work in his world and as badly as he wants Sadie, he believes she deserves more. By the end of the summer, Jax discovers he can't breathe without Sadie.
Summary for Abbi Glines blog

   So this was my favorite book in 2 months for about 2 weeks I think. And that is saying something because I usually read 3-5 books a week and they don't stay my favorite in their period of time for very long. Even now parts of it are stuck in my head. I think their stuck with super glue actually.
   From the beginning I was trapped in these pixilated pages. Abbi Glines style of writing seems... unique to me. Though the writing was very formal (which sorta tried to kill my love for this book but came nowhere near succeeding) I loved Abbi's choice in words for almost everything. There definitely were some cheesy parts in this but I am a total cheesy moment fanatic so it was not as much of a bother to me as it might be to som- most people. The songs that were included were great, if still including a little cheesiness. 
   As Sadie starts working at the huge mansion on private island... well it sorta says what's going to happen in itself. 


Girl + Hot Famous and/or Rich Guy = Lovely, Cheesy Romance

That's pretty much it when it comes to her intro into the book. The rest is pretty predictable but that does not mean I don't love it. I mean, it's rare you get to read a book like this, in a good way, very often because they are just... usually not published. From what I here the print edition has some of the "cheesier parts" taken out and/or changed so I am definitely looking forward to that.
   So back to the review of this edition/format. As Sadie's love story unravels, you get experience the dream romance every girl has at least once in her life. Everything in Breathe is written how quite a few, more stubborn, girls might think. I say stubborn because that is the only word that can describe how Sadie is to me... that or humble I guess. 
   Have you read Breathe? What's your take on this quirky little story? Maybe little is not the word for it to some people but it fits for me. Tell me in the comments... or not. You know, do what you please. :P
