Breathe by Karen Moncrieffe
Nicole has a secret she is hiding from everyone; even her boyfriend, Alex. She suffers from anxiety. Sometimes her worries threaten to overwhelm her. To Alex she appears calm and confident. He has no idea how scared she often feels inside. But Nicole begins to find it impossible to keep her feelings hidden. She is faced with a choice. Reveal her secret - or lose Alex. What will she decide?The Two Sides series take important themes faced by many young people in today's world such as sexual identity, domestic abuse, racism and being a young carer and bring them to life through the words of a young person struggling to come to terms with them. These innovative books are written both from the main character's point of view and someone else who has made an assumption about the situation coloured by prejudice or ignorance. Appearances can be deceiving. In a judgemental world, can you see Two Sides?
