Discouraged by a Book with a Fabulous Cover

Breathe

By Sarah Crossan

Inhale. Exhale.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Breathe . . .
The world is dead.
The survivors live under the protection of Breathe, the corporation that found a way to manufacture oxygen-rich air.

Alina
has been stealing for a long time. She's a little jittery, but not terrified. All she knows is that she's never been caught before. If she's careful, it'll be easy. If she's careful.

Quinn
should be worried about Alina and a bit afraid for himself, too, but even though this is dangerous, it's also the most interesting thing to happen to him in ages. It isn't every day that the girl of your dreams asks you to rescue her.

Bea
wants to tell him that none of this is fair; they'd planned a trip together, the two of them, and she'd hoped he'd discover her out here, not another girl.

And as they walk into the Outlands with two days' worth of oxygen in their tanks, everything they believe will be shattered. Will they be able to make it back? Will they want to?

The cover just looks amazing doesn't it? It sucked me right in. I am satisfied with it because Quinn finally came to his senses and him and Bea are off to a hopeful future. I am satisfied because it was a nice journey to go on. However, this book just didn't wow me. Maybe my expectations were too high due to the fabulous cover. The book seemed to short and lacking in character development. Or maybe it's because sometimes the characters repeated each other with the mixed pov chapters.

3 stars because it wasn't amazing and I didn't really like it. I just like it on an average level...
