Celeste and Bailey were teenage girls who were murdered 20 years ago in the small Florida town of Mount Orange. Trulee has spent her whole life hearing about the murders and feeling haunted by them; however, the gruesome crime has remained unsolved. Rio, a beautiful girl and fellow free diver arrives in town determined to solve the murders. Trulee feels immediately drawn to Rio and they team up to try to figure out what happened all those years ago.
As they dig deeper in to the mystery, Trulee and Rio realize someone is watching them and that they are in danger. They also cannot deny the growing connection between them.
One Last Breath is a highly suspenseful thriller with multiple twists and turns and queer rep. The setting of a beautiful Florida spring was atmospheric and fascinating, as were the free diving aspects of the story. I ended up researching more about the Florida freshwater springs and learned that they are threatened ecosystems. One Last Breath is a stay-up-all-night compelling, unpredictable YA thriller.
