She doesn't even need to be in love. Then her dad drops a bombshell: he's leaving Claude's mother. Suddenly, Claude's entire world feels like a lie, and her future anything but under control.<br \/>\n<b>After:<\/b> Claude's mom whisks them away to the last place Claude could imagine nursing a broken heart: a remote, mosquito-infested island off the coast of Georgia. But then Jeremiah Crew happens. Miah is a local trail guide with a passion for photography--and a past he doesn't like to talk about. He's brash and enigmatic, and even more infuriatingly, he's the only one who seems to see Claude for who she wants to be. So when Claude decides to sleep with Miah, she tells herself it's just sex, nothing more. There's not enough time to fall in love, especially if it means putting her already broken heart at risk.<br \/>\nCompulsively readable and impossible to forget, Jennifer Niven's luminous new novel is an insightful portrait of a young woman ready to write her own story.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2020-09-28T11:00:20+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Monday and welcome to my stop on the blog tour for BREATHLESS!

I know without looking at the time that I\u2019m late. I leap out of bed, one foot still wrapped in the sheet, and land flat on my face. I lie there a minute. Close my eyes. Wonder if I can pretend I\u2019ve fainted and convince Mom to let me blow off today and stay home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s peaceful on the floor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But it also smells a bit. I open an eye and there\u2019s something ground into the rug. One of Dandelion\u2019s cat treats, maybe. I turn my head to the other side and it\u2019s better over here, but then from outside I hear a horn blast, and this is my dad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So now I\u2019m up and on my feet because he will just keep honking and honking the stupid horn until I\u2019m in the car. I can\u2019t find one of my books and one of my shoes, and my hair is wrong and my outfit is wrong, and basically I am wrong in my own skin. I should have been born French. If I were French, everything would be right. I would be chic and cool and ride a bike to school, one with a basket. I would be able to ride a bike in the first place. If I were living in Paris instead of Mary Grove, Ohio, these flats would look better with this skirt, my hair would be less orange red\u2014the color of an heirloom tomato\u2014and I would somehow make more sense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I scramble into my parents\u2019 room dressed in my skirt and bikini top, the black one I bought with Saz last month, the one I plan to live in this summer. All my bras are in the wash. My mom\u2019s closet is neat and tidy, but lacking the order of my dad\u2019s, which is all black, gray, navy, everything organized by color because he\u2019s colorblind and this way he doesn\u2019t have to ask all the time, \u201cIs this green or brown?\u201d I rummage through the shelf above and then his dresser drawers, searching for the shirt I want: vintage 1993 Nirvana. I am always stealing this shirt and he is always stealing it back, but now it\u2019s nowhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I stand in the doorway and shout down the hall, toward the stairs, toward my mom. \u201cWhere\u2019s Dad\u2019s Nirvana shirt?\u201d I\u2019ve decided that this and only this is the thing I want to wear today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I wait two, three, four, five seconds, and my only answer is another blast of the horn. I run to my room and grab the first shirt I see and throw it on, even though I haven\u2019t worn it to school since freshman year. Miss Piggy with sparkles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the front door, my mom says, \u201cI\u2019ll come get you if Saz can\u2019t bring you home.\u201d My mom is a busy, well-known writer\u2014historical novels, nonfiction, anything to do with history\u2014but she always has time for me. When we moved into this house, we turned the guest room into her office and my dad spent two days building floor-to-ceiling bookcases to hold her hundreds of research books.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something must show on my face because she rests her hands on my shoulders and goes, \u201cHey. It\u2019s going to be okay.\u201d And she means my best friend, Suzanne Bakshi (better known as Saz), and me, that we\u2019ll always be friends in spite of graduation and college and all the life to come. I feel some of her calm, bright energy settling itself, like a bird in a tree, onto my shoulders, melting down my arms, into my limbs, into my blood. This is one of the many things my mom does best. She makes everyone feel better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the car, my dad is wearing his Radiohead T-shirt under a suit jacket, which means the Nirvana shirt is in the wash. I make a mental note to snag it when I get home so I can wear it to the party tonight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the first three or four minutes, we don\u2019t talk, but this is also normal. Unlike my mom, my dad and I are not morning people, and on the drive to school we like to maintain what he calls \u201ccompanionable silence,\u201d something Saz refuses to respect, which is why I don\u2019t ride with her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I stare out the window at the low black clouds that are gathering like mourners in the direction of the college, where my dad works as an administrator. It\u2019s not supposed to rain, but it looks like rain, and it makes me worry for Trent Dugan\u2019s party. My weekends are usually spent with Saz, driving around town, searching for something to do, but this one is going to be different. Last official party of senior year and all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My dad sails past the high school, over Main Street Bridge, into downtown Mary Grove, which is approximately ten blocks of stores lining the bricked-paved streets, better known as the Promenade. He roars to a stop at the westernmost corner, where the street gives way to cobbled brick and fountains. He gets out and jogs into the Joy Ann Cake Shop while I text Saz a photo of the sign over the door. Who\u2019s your favorite person?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a second she replies: You are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two minutes later my dad is jogging back to the car, arms raised overhead in some sort of ridiculous victory dance, white paper bag in one hand. He gets in, slams the door, and tosses me the bag filled with our usual\u2014one chocolate cupcake for Saz and a pound of thumbprint cookies for Dad and me, which we devour on the way to the high school. Our secret morning ritual since I was twelve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As I eat, I stare at the cloudy, cloudy sky. \u201cIt might rain.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My dad says, \u201cIt won\u2019t rain,\u201d like he once said, \u201cHe won\u2019t hit you,\u201d about Damian Green, who threatened to punch me in the mouth in third grade because I wouldn\u2019t let him cheat off me. He won\u2019t hit you, which implied that if necessary my dad would come over to the school and punch Damian himself, because no one was going to mess with his daughter, not even an eight-year-old boy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt might,\u201d I say, just so I can hear it again, the protectiveness in his voice. It\u2019s a protectiveness that reminds me of being five, six, seven, back when I rode everywhere on his shoulders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He says, \u201cIt won\u2019t.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In first-period creative writing, my teacher, Mr. Russo, keeps me after class to say, \u201cIf you really want to write, and I believe you do, you\u2019re going to have to put it all out there so that we can feel what you feel. You always seem to be holding back, Claudine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He says some good things too, but this will be what I remember\u2014that he doesn\u2019t think I can feel. It\u2019s funny how the bad things stay with you and the good things sometimes get lost. I leave his classroom and tell myself he doesn\u2019t begin to know me or what I can do. He doesn\u2019t know that I\u2019m already working on my first novel and that I\u2019m going to be a famous writer one day, that my mom has let me help her with research projects since I was ten, the same year I started writing stories. He doesn\u2019t know that I actually do put myself out there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On my way to third period, Shane Waller, the boy I\u2019ve been seeing for almost two months, corners me at my locker and says, \u201cShould I pick you up for Trent\u2019s party?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shane smells good and can be funny when he puts his mind to it, which\u2014along with my raging hormones\u2014are the main reasons I\u2019m with him. I say, \u201cI\u2019m going with Saz. But I\u2019ll see you there.\u201d Which is fine with Shane, because ever since I was fifteen, my dad has notoriously made all my dates wait outside, even in the dead of Ohio winter. This is because he was once a teenage boy and knows what they\u2019re thinking. And because he likes to make sure they know he knows exactly what they\u2019re thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shane says, \u201cSee you there, babe.\u201d And then, to prove to myself and Mr. Russo and everyone else at Mary Grove High that I am an actual living, feeling person, I do something I never do\u2014I kiss him, right there in the school hallway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we break apart, he leans in and I feel his breath in my ear. \u201cI can\u2019t wait.\u201d And I know he thinks\u2014hopes\u2014we\u2019re going to have sex. The same way he\u2019s been hoping for the past two months that I\u2019ll finally decide my days of being a virgin are over and \u201cgive it up to him.\u201d (His words, not mine. As if somehow my virginity belongs to him.)<\/span><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight:
