Abbey Lee Nash

Breathing Underwater is a slice-of-life novel with a solid disability plot focusing on epilepsy. The main character has to deal with the struggles of becoming sick right in the middle of training for Nationals for swimming, knowing that her entire life won't ever be the same again.

This book is a good book if you're looking for a well paced, not too heavy book about overcoming problems out of your control. The main character not only has to tackle her own feelings, but also those around her, some of who understand and some who don't.… (more)

Thank you to NetGalley and Tiny Fox Press for allowing me to read and review this raw, riveting book about drug addiction. Abbey Lee Nash’s writing is captivating, very tight pacing with lovely prose. I devoured this in less than 24 hours. It’s nice, clean storytelling that keeps you riveted as you move through Eli’s heartbreaking story of drug addiction and his road to recovery.

Much of the action takes place in a recovery facility, and her scenes between Eli and his therapist were some of my favorite parts. This is a very gritty portrayal that pulls no punches as it examines the road that got Eli there and what he must do to achieve sobriety. I especially enjoyed Nash’s take on this topic for her realistic look at life in a rehab facility, and the in-depth way she looked at Eli’s past and pulled all the pieces together.
