Sarah Moon tackles life's issues with a sharp wit in her syndicated comic strip, Just Breathe. With both Sarah and her cartoon heroine undergoing fertility treatments, her fiction often reflects her reality. However, she hadn't scripted her husband's infidelity. In the wake of her shattered marriage, Sarah flees to the coastal town in California where she grew up. There, she revisits her troubling past: an emotionally distant father, the loss of her mother and an unexpected connection with Will Bonner, the high school heartthrob skewered mercilessly in her comics. But he's been through some changes himself. And just as her heart is about to reawaken, Sarah makes a most startling discovery. She's pregnant. With her ex's twins. The winds of change have led Sarah to this surprising new beginning. All she can do is just close her eyes…and breathe.

Laid-back, comfortable women's fiction.
Characters you'll care about with a sweet romance threaded through.
Enjoyed it.
My mom passed this book onto me. It was quite different from what I expected. It wasn't a typical romance book, but it certainly read more like a chick lit novel. I suppose that struck me as different, but only because Susan Wiggs' books tend to be historical romances in a very obvious way. I found Sarah to be a likable character (though incredibly difficult to imagine physically), and Will to be the all-around, good-hearted American guy. The ending was trite and sweet—almost a little too neat. I did appreciate that Wiggs approached modern topics with humor and understanding, like Facebook and homosexuality.
