reviewed A Gentle Read on
Helpful Score: 3


A very sweet romance, soothing to the soul. Funny and heartbreaking at the same time. Susan Wiggs is a master at blending emotion.

Sarah Moon has caught her cheating husband "in the act" - not missing the irony of his infidelity occurring at the same moment she is undergoing fertility treatments because he is "unable" to give her the child she so desperately wants. She flees to the comfort of the same small California coastal town she couldn't wait to leave as a teen.

Sarah, a cartoonist, chronicles her struggles through her strip, "Just Breathe" and finds that sometimes, that really is the best advice of all. Just breathe.
