Book Description:
Chicago cartoonist Sarah Moon tackles life's real issues with a healthy dose of sharp wit in her syndicated comic strip Just Breathe. As Sarah's cartoon alter ego, Shirl, undergoes artificial insemination, her situation begins to mirror Sarah's own difficult attempts to conceive. However, Sarah's dreams of the future did not include her husband's infidelity: snag number two in Sarah's so-called perfect life.
With Chicago and her marriage in the rearview mirror, she flees to the small Northern California coastal town where she grew up, a place she couldn't wait to leave. Now she finds herself revisiting the past, an emotionally distant father and the unanswered questions left by her mother's death. As she comes to terms with her lost marriage, Sarah encounters a man she never expected to meet again: Will Bonner, the high school heartthrob she'd skewered mercilessly in her old comics. Now a local firefighter, he's been through some changes himself. But just as her heart is about to reawaken, Sarah discovers she is pregnant. With her ex's twins.
It's hardly the most traditional of new beginnings, but who says life and love are predictable or perfect? The winds of change have led Sarah here. Now all she can do is just close her eyes and breathe.

Okay, so I heard a lot of great things about this book and a lot of people said they liked it, but I was just really not all that impressed. The writing was not very good and it was very predictable. I mean, it wasn't BAD, just very brainless chick lit. All in all, with all the great books out there (my to-be-read pile gets bigger every month thanks to this website), I would not recommend wasting time reading this one.

This book was enjoyable to read, but a bit contrived. I never felt like the main character was fully formed and believable. Dispite that it is still a good summer beach book.

would have given it five stars if the wit from the beginning carried through the book. it was predicitable, but a good beach read. my mother-in-law has it now, so I can't repost for now :)

Wow! Talk about a waste of time. Poorly written, character development was childish, storyline was ridiculously predictable. Would not recommend.

I didn't like this book. To be fair, it's not the type of book I read normally, so I'm sure that had something to do with it. The dialogue was very awkward sometimes. I just thought there would be more to the story, and I was disappointed.

I found myself just not wanting to put this book down. Great read...funny, charming, and romantic.

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.

I was extremely suprised when I started to read this.It was like reliving my past and the car I had was a rebuilt 73 Dodge Charger bronze/gold.I took it across country and back.I kept it until my daughter started driving.
The book was a quick read. Left me wainting more from the characters, felt like something was missing the entire time. Good but not excellent read.
My boyfriend presented me with this book as a suprise. Although I had never heard of this author, I read the back, thought it looked interesting, and gave it a go. Wow! I loved it! It was exactly the type of book I needed at the time...I'd definately reccommend it to any lover of 'chic lit'..especially to those women out there like myself who like a book with some "umph"
I really enjoyed this book. Its the first I've ever read of the author and I have picked up several of her books since then. This is by far my favorite.
I really enjoyed this book! It's an easy summer read about a woman who finds herself pregnant with twins while filing for divorce and she also falls in love unexpectedly during this time with an old high school rival.
