Review
How to breathe under water is a story of Kate, they way her live is changed upside down, after she sees her father cheating. We see her life falling apart, but we also see her gaining freedom and finally being able to find who she is, without pressures and expectations. However growing up is never easy.
It's such a touching story, that pull at you emotions. The characters are very real and relatable, especially Kate, I felt like I knew her. :) The writing is really good, I was pulled into the story in few chapters. There were few aspects of the story that I didn't like, like the way Michael and she got together.
It's a touching story, that stays with you, makes you think and feel.
