Ten Tiny Breaths was pretty damn great, yet disappointed is the first word that comes to mind, followed by bullshit; yet still it seriously was pretty damn great... yep one of those books. But any book written well enough to illicit such strong emotions is awesome and worth reading. 
 Okay, as for ratings, I'm really conflicted! I'm having a hard time rating it. So much of this book was on point and I loved a lot of it. It was a solid read that I didn't want to put down but then there were parts that I just couldn't quite buy into and that bummed me out a lot...as did the predictability of the most important parts. I found myself saying, "Really!?!" and "NFW" a bit more than I'd like for one book. 
 Besides the plot twist and big secret being obvious to me early in the book, I have to say, As far as the PTSD therapist is concerned, I'm calling bullshit on that. (view spoiler)[ Talk about a conflict of interest. And him bringing up information he knows through treating Trent and discussing Trent's issues. (hide spoiler)] Wtf ever! 
 The last chapter felt forced, rushed, and just didn't flow with the rest of the book. Plus Kacey didn't seem like herself with some of her thoughts. The epilogue was wrapped up a little too nicely with a big sparkly bow and seemed fake. I'm happy with the outcome though, just not the way it was portrayed or came about. Did the same person who wrote the book write the final chapter and epilogue? It didn't feel like it. 
 On the plus side, I genuinely liked not only the main characters, but the other characters that were introduced. They were a great group of people. Even Tanner, who turned out to be a big softie! 
 I truly thought this was going to be a 5 star book and it wasn't until close to the end that it changed, when the plot twist finally happened. The predictable plot twist. 
 I think I've settled on 3.5 stars for Ten Tiny Breaths. I truly enjoyed reading it and would recommend it for others to read.
