Rebecca Donovan writes contemporary young adult and new-adult fiction about abuse, secrecy and the difficulty of trusting people after long periods of control. Reason to Breathe begins the Breathing series with Emma Thomas, a high-school student hiding severe abuse at home while trying to maintain grades, sport and friendships. Her relationship with Evan Mathews offers support but also creates new risks as the truth becomes harder to conceal. The later books follow the consequences into recovery and early adulthood. Donovan's writing is intense, emotionally direct and relationship-led, with trauma and disclosure carrying more weight than external plot mechanics. The series fits issue-based YA, trauma-centred romance and contemporary coming-of-age fiction. Read more Less
