Don't Breathe a Word
by Holly Cupala
October 18th, 2011
Joy Delamere is suffocating.

From asthma, from her parents, and from her boyfriend, delectably dangerous Asher, who is smothering her from the inside out.

Joy can take his words—tender words, cruel words—until the night they go too far.

Now, Joy will leave everything behind to find the one who has offered his help, a homeless boy called Creed. She will become someone else. She will learn to survive. She will breathe...if only she can get to Creed before it’s too late.

Set against the gritty backdrop of Seattle’s streets and a cast of characters with secrets of their own, Holly Cupala’s powerful new novel explores the subtleties of abuse, the meaning of love, and how far a girl will go to discover her own strength.

First, I love the cover on this one. And the story sounds really good. I like the idea that the main character is trying to escape suffocation from all directions, including inside of herself. Escape and reinvention! I can't wait for it.

What book are you waiting on?

  3. Wow, this does sound good, but it would be such a difficult read for me. This sounds like a book that will help teens in abusive relationships and others to look for the signs. Gotta love #yasaves.

    Thanks for stopping by!

  16. I saw this somewhere else and instantly fell in love with the cover but I didn't read what it was about! It sounds like it's going to be a great intense read, and I always love it when a character is finding their inner strength. Great pick this week! Thanks for stopping by ;)
