NEW FAVORITE !!!!

Wow! I was sucked in immediately!

The book is filled with endless twist and turns, and so many different things happen. Yet they all tie into the story line perfectly. I remember looking at the time left on the book a few different times and thought, "Wow....what else could possiably happen ? Or. What could Tucker possiably do to fill the the next 3/4s of this book with?"

It never got boring, it was none stop ride!

The whole thing was great! I also, often thought how very real these events and characters were.

And the narrator really was the whip cream and cherry on top of it all! She didn't seem like she was trying to hard. She was consistent with the different voices. And she had the appropriate emotions and tones.

I don't easily give out five stars.....but this was worth every single one!

Awful to eh...

Any additional comments?

This book went from a painful listening experience to a decent ending. I feel like the author spent more time describing sex than she did on character development. It was all cliche and a little too 50 Shades for my taste.

One of my Favorite Books this year!

This book was beautifully written. I was enthralled from the start and never expecting to be a blubbering idiot by the end. I don't like to give spoilers with my reviews so all I need to say is that I don't highly recommend a book often.....until now!!

Damaged Girl Makes New Start

Kacey suffered a devastating loss when her family perished in a car accident. One bad choice after another leads her to pick up with little sister in tow to move to Florida for a fresh start. Struggling to make ends meet, she takes a risky job to pay the rent and keep her bright sister on track to attend an ivy league college.

An attractive stranger seems drawn to rescuing her from all sorts of mini catastrophes and thus begins the mystery.

The narrator is strong and the book is an entertaining read, but not great.

Not my kind of book. I did not enjoy it.

Grief, anger, suffering, pain, and being a b**ch to almost everyone.

Jane Litte recommended this on a Podcast. I expect her recommendations to be good for romance lovers, although sometimes I disagree with her. But this was unexpected because there was no “feel good.” Sorry Jane. I call it tragedy women’s fiction with a smithering of romance. But the romance was not good enough to offset the pain, depression, anger, frustration, and dislikeablilty. Kacey is extremely angry and a b**ch throughout the book. She was mean to people who were kind and good to her. Her reason was to protect herself from grief and anger from a car accident which killed people she loved. At 75% my thoughts were “I’m tired of her attitude and issues and pain.” I lost compassion and empathy for her. At this time Trent said to Kacey something about here’s to the next 80 years together. When I heard that I thought “I don’t know why he loves her.”

I cared for Trent. And I hurt for him. He brought tears of sadness to me. I also had tears about something a father did at the end.

I don’t want to read sad books. I would not have bought this had I known what it was about. I want to be entertained and I want to feel good. This was neither.

There are a few sex scenes but they are done with no details and sort of mentioned after the fact. With a couple of them I thought “Oh did they have sex? I must have missed it.” The level of sex is probably ok for young adult readers.

The narrator Elizabeth Louise was good.

Genre: tragedy women’s fiction, new adult

Takes a long time to get into this story

I read "In Her Wake" which is a must before reading this one. That was pretty good and I figured this would be also. It took me so long to get into this story. It was a see saw back and forth with Kasey and Trent getting together. I love you but we can't,, ok now, ok no not now. Well maybe. Geez!! I kept listening and the last third of the book was so much better. Took long enough. I gave this 4 stars because the narration was fantastic. That really saved the book.

INCREDIBLE! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!

I had this book in my wish list for the longest time. I just kept thinking it was way too deep for me from what I read in others reviews. Maybe even a little too sappy. I didn't want to read something that would just depress me and this seemed to be way too depressing. I was totally wrong, granted it has many sad and very deep parts to it, but the author found the perfect mix of laughter and tears. This was an incredible story I am so glad I finally listened. More than worth the credit!

Amazing story of healing and redemption

Would you consider the audio edition of Ten Tiny Breaths to be better than the print version?

Yes. I probably wouldn't have read it otherwise because I don't have the time, and the narrator was perfect!

What other book might you compare Ten Tiny Breaths to and why?

The Opportunist by Tarryn Fisher - both have troubled but likeable protagonists that have a certain badass quality to them. Their relationships with romantic interests provide opportunities for growth and healing. And they also have great, supportive best friends - Cammie in The Opportunist, and Storm in Ten Tiny Breaths. Finally, they both take place in Miami.

Which scene was your favorite?

The part at the end when Kacey is on the beach.

If you could take any character from Ten Tiny Breaths out to dinner, who would it be and why?

I'd like to take both Trent and Casey out because as a couple they seem really cool.

Any additional comments?

I'm sad it's over. This is my favorite new adult novel that I've read so far. Hope I find an equally good book sometime soon.

This amazing story took my breath away

Any additional comments?

K. A. Tucker managed to grab me and hold my undivided attention till the end in this very emotional book. The plot is awesome. It’s edgy, its dark. It contains lots of great elements that pull the reader into the story. Though not everything is given to the reader at once, it simply leaves a trail of delicious bread crumbs for the reader to follow. With every piece, the story evolves, becoming much more potent at the end. I want to say more but… The love in this story has got to be the most wonderful and painful love ever. So many mistakes. So little time to fix them all. The past holding them back. The whole dynamic of their relationship and the love it brings to them is strong. I felt so taken back by the amount of trials that they went through. And for the guy to do so much for forgiveness and a second chance, its lovely.... I knew half way through that there is more than what I’m seeing. And when I got to the tidbit at the end…O.M.G. I love it. I love how well the author kept the reader entertained, that the reader could not see what what was coming next and yet it changes many things. But there is one thing that it can’t change…love..... I adored this book! It’s riveting and exciting that I still can’t get it out of my head. An edgy portrait of two people looking for forgiveness, the story can capture any reader. The struggle for a normal life, the pain of what they live through, Ten Ting Breaths is a successful start to the series. A stark and powerful drama, Ten Ting Breaths is stunning. *Elizabeth Louise done an awesome job with narration, just made this story the perfect package. :)
