Summary

Sequel to Who We Are

Tyson Thompson graduated high school at 16 and left the town of Seafare, Oregon, bound for what he assumed would be bigger and better things. He soon found out the real world has teeth, and he returns to the coast with four years of failure, addiction, and a diagnosis of panic disorder trailing behind him. His brother, Bear, and his brother's husband, Otter, believe coming home is exactly what Tyson needs to find himself again. Surrounded by family in the Green Monstrosity, Tyson attempts to put the pieces of his broken life back together.

But shortly after he arrives home, Tyson comes face to face with inevitability in the form of his childhood friend and first love, Dominic Miller, who he hasn't seen since the day he left Seafare. As their paths cross, old wounds reopen, new secrets are revealed, and Tyson discovers there is more to his own story than he was told all those years ago.

In a sea of familiar faces, new friends, and the memories of a mother's devastating choice, Tyson will learn that in order to have any hope for a future, he must fight the ghosts of his past.

In the moment

What made the experience of listening to The Art of Breathing the most enjoyable?

No matter what I was doing when listing to the book, I would stop and become surrounded by the story line which was unfolding. There were moments of pure breath taking emotion which would make me catch my breath and scrunch my face up to try and stop the tears.

Fantastic

Another fabulous rendition of a fabulous TJ Klune book. All the character voices were well developed, and thankfully no British Mrs Paquin!

Fantastic telling of the book

I've read this book numerous times and it's one if my favourite ones. Actually listening to it had made the journey even better. I love Dom and to actually hear it out loud what he went through was heart breaking but it made the end so much better. recommend you listen to it even if you've ready or before

Excellent

Once again I've laughed and cried with the ups and downs of Bear Otter the Kid and now Dominic. I can't wait for the next and last instalment of their story. The three, soon to be four, have always been a firm favourite of mine.
Sean Chrisden has done justice to this family with his narration. Wonderful job, especially when Sandy, Paul and Vince were part of it.

This is a wonderful series

This is Tyson an Dominic's story and it continues the emotional, funny journey of this family, friends and lovers. It also introduces some new characters who you can find more about in another fab series. Love it and highly recommend.

Another brilliant instalment

This book lived entirely up to expectation. I can't wait for the next (and final, sadly) instalment.
This quirky family is, once met, never to be forgotten. Why someone hasn't optioned the film rights and started a series is beyond belief!!

Who needs Michael Lesley or Charlie David??

Review dated 2015.

5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. Sean is just brilliant!! His version of Helena Handbasket is sooo much better than Michael Lesleys. I laughed my head off and cried buckets too. Can't wait for final book.
