Breathing Underwater

 









Olivia and Ruth used to do so much together - play pirates, watch movies, go scuba diving, and create epic treasure hunts including the one they did when they moved across country.  But Ruth's depression saps her energy and even though Olivia tries hard to help she is often at the receiving end of snarky comments or eye rolls.  In a trip back west Olivia tries to recreate their last big treasure hunt which will culminate in digging up a box they buried.  But can Olivia hold Ruth together and make everything ok?

This book reveals a struggle with depression which I can appreciate - the whole windows, mirrors, sliding glass doors thing - but it was a tough read too.  It did end up on a hopeful note though, which was good.
