Breathing Underwater by Alex Flinn

When Ashley suggested this book for our blog, she described it as, "the story of a young relationship gone wrong." The story starts with Nick in a courthouse where his ex girlfriend is getting a restraining order against him. Talk about love gone wrong! Nick is rich, an honors student, a football player, the most popular guy in school. How did it come to this? His father hits him, so he knows better than to ever hit someone in return, right? Especially not Caitlin, his one true love. But somehow he did. Through court mandated family violence councelling and keeping a journal where he recounts his relationship with Caitlin, we grow to understand how he got to where he is and where he can go from there.
