"Earnest, evocative, and unapologetically tender. Don't Forget to Breathe is the sort of love story that wears its heart on its sleeve." - Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author of Simon Vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda and Imogen, Obviously
Perfect for fans of Jennifer Dugan and Nina LaCour, this tender, contemporary sapphic romance follows a dancer and a musician who find themselves on a collision course that could change their lives forever.
Zoe's always had a plan. Ballet has been her past, present, and future for so long that she's never even considered otherwise. It's been the escape she's always needed. Yet when senior year arrives, it arrives with a feeling of uncertainty she never expected--and a paralyzing fear about choosing the wrong future.
Hanna's rarely stayed in a place longer than a year. The greatest consistency she has is her piano playing, and her dad diving back into his Jewish faith every time her mom leaves on assignment. So when her senior year begins with yet another move to a new school, she's not planning on putting down roots--she's learned that hard way how that ends.
But when the girls' paths collide, everything they thought they knew is turned upside down. Their relationship could change them each forever--if they have the courage to let their worlds fall apart.
An honest, messy, and very real approach to first love that focuses keenly on the queer and neurodiverse experience, Don't Forget to Breathe proves the power of overcoming fear to be wildly, truly yourself.
