Heather Cranmer (2721 KP) rated One Breath Away in Books
Jun 6, 2018
Wow, wow, wow! This book was very gripping! I loved the way the main characters had their own points of view as chapters. The whole plot was amazing. I can not think of one bad thing to say about this book. I'm definitely going to give Heather Gudenkauf's other books a read now as I believe she is a brilliant writer. This book is so emotional, and I would've never guessed the gunman's identity at the end. What a shocker!

Should be required reading
I have never read such a gripping, fascinating and heartwarming story that also taught me as much as this book did. Whilst I have always supported the Black Lives Matter movement, I have never understood it in the way that I do after reading this book. I have so much love for all of the characters. It had me crying in public for a lot of it! I recommend this book to anyone who’ll listen to me!

This book is a gripping courtroom drama about a hard-working single Mum and solicitor who is trying to juggle a demanding job and a disabled child when she gets a case that she can't let go of.
This story is so perfectly paced and engaging that, before I even realised it, I was halfway though. The absolute definition of a page turner, especially in the last few chapters and I can't wait to read some more of Ruths work.

I picked this book up for something like £2 in The Works (kinda like Bargain Books), and now I know why.
Set during the Wars of Marlborough, I was hoping for an exciting and interesting story during which I might learn something new. Unfortunately, the novel was pretty bland: both in plot and execution. The prose was never really that gripping; none of the characters were that interesting and elements of the plot were just, well, silly.
In short: meh.

I loved this book I read it before the film came out so the film was pretty disappointing to me as it was so different to the book. The story is gripping right from the start and there is a great amount of backstory so the setting is easy to picture for the reader as well as gives them a greater understanding of what the characters are going through. It is very unique, the characters are well developed and I enjoyed every page.

This one came from out of nowhere
never heard of Claire Fuller before or this book and actually got it in a secret santa at work. Well Santa knows me well because it was bloody fantastic. My poor kids were hungry because I found it hard to not pick it up when I came home from work and hard to put it down afterwards. This is a disturbing and gripping story that is so upsetting because its entirely believable.

Book was provided by the author herself, Britney King, in exchange for an honest review.
I truly enjoyed this novel. It left me gripping for more and wanting to learn more of the New Hope Church, the sirens, the leaders of New Hope, etc. I recommend starting with The Social Affair, as reading in order will help you gain a better understanding of what the underlying story is about and will make all the gaps come together in the end.
