Breathe

By Sarah Crossan

Book Overview

The world has no air.

Ever since the Switch, when the oxygen levels plummeted and most of humanity died, the survivors have been protected in a glass dome full of manufactured air. If you want to live, you pay to breathe. But what if you can't pay? And what if you think everything could be different? Alina's a revolutionary who believes the Resistance can save the environment, can break free, and she's on her first mission. Quinn's a Premium who's never had to worry about having enough air. His best friend, Bea, is an Auxiliary who's never worried about anything but having enough air. When all three cross paths and walk into the Outlands with two days' worth of oxygen in their tanks, everything they believe will be shattered.

Way better than I expected

I got this and the sequel awhile back and just never got around to reading it. I woke up around noon and started reading it, took a break from 6p-9p and started reading it as soon as I was done with dinner, lea up and feeding the furbabies. I'm stunned at how good this was. I wasnt expecting to be this drawn into it. Buy it. Take a big breath, and run right into an adventure that will have you gasping in horror, sniffling in sadness, and openly weeping in joy. Don't forget to train. #RATS
