The Deepest Breath by Meg Grehan

The Deepest Breath is a beautiful verse novel about a girl coming to an awareness of who she is and who she might be. 

“It’s in my chest
And sometimes in my tummy
And always in my head
It’s a fizzy feeling
Warm and squishy
And it makes me blush
And it only happens
When I look at my friend
Chloe”

There is so much that Stevie doesn’t know. She doesn’t know about all the fish in the sea. She doesn’t know all the constellations of the stars. And she doesn’t know why she feels this way about Chloe.
