Tiny vs Deep vs Just Breathe

Murderer? Responsible?
The doctor?

A dream… okay.

Ch. 18
Oh, so she did it before?
When it happened to her and loved ones, she couldn’t see the relevance, the connection, the similarities?

Ch. 16 (end)
Surprise Birthday
-Stay in or Go out?
Ugh. Take her on a DATE!!

If he wanted to be friends, he could have gotten to know her.

AND…. I knew it!!
Whomp-Whomp.

Ch. 14
20 Days!
Manipulated
Both guys are red flags.
She is playing dangerous games, but I’m sure it’ll all work out fine in the book. 😜

Ch. 15
No touching rule.
Private rooms are okay?
And AGAIN?
WTF? She’s AT WORK!
NOPE. 😳

Ch. 13
“I'll make you whole again, Casey.”
Why does he do it now?

Officer Dan and Nora seem to be close really fast and in front of Mia.

He asks about the driver, the passengers, and the survivor AFTER?!?!

She was old enough to ask her mom to explain, or mom could have seen she didn't fully understand her. Perhaps this confusion is intentional on the author's part?
Because at this point, I'm confused about “tiny breaths” vs. deep breaths, and I assume she'll explain it better. Unlike most books, the title is a big part of the book.

SPOILER: In the beginning, he is tossing off creepy vibes like, Dude, know your place! Don’t go down in a basement laundry room after a woman. Even at this point of the book, he seems suspicious because he is meant to be gone at work, but he is everywhere and also shows up outta nowhere. I believe he was part of the accident, he followed her to Miami to place himself in her path. Is his name different?

Ch. 8
First date. Motorcycle.

Hey Friends, Shawna here!

I just downloaded this kindle book for free after learning about Amazon First Reads. Each month, 8 books are offered FREE to Prime members, and $1.99 for Non-Prime members.

You have the entire month to choose the book you’d like to keep indefinitely!

Search “Amazon First Reads” in Amazon search bar! This isn’t an AD, and I will give my true review after reading it.

June 1483 🥺

“He does not glance up. He does as he was told. He is a good boy. A brave boy. He remembers to keep his head down and his cap pulled down on his forehead to hide his fair hair.”

“He must be like a bird. A swallow who in winter flies beneath the waters of the rivers and freezes in to silence…”

June 1483
“I swing open my window. I just want him to be able to see me if he glances up. I want him to know I did not let him go lightly. That I looked him until the last very moment. I want him to see me looking through the darkness and know that I will look for him for the rest of my life. I will look for him until the hour of my death. I will look for him after death. And the river will whisper his name.”

“My boy has to go out with no protection and two loyal servants and a blessing of his mother.”

“There is no time for any farewells, and anyway there is nothing can say but a prayer for his safety that catches me in the throat as if I have swallowed a dagger.”

“I raise my hand to wave to him and see his little white face under the big cap looking back at me.”

March 2026. I borrowed this book from the library via the Libby app after recently seeing 15 minutes of it on TV. I waited for on hold. When it arrived, it was somehow removed from my library. Maybe I accidentally returned it. So now I am waiting for it again. 🤪

Ch. 1 (end)
I don’t think this book is for me.
