Book Blurb:
Tyson Thompson graduated high school at sixteen 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.

My thoughts and review:
I loved this book as I knew I would! I have been with these characters from the start and until I read this book I had no idea it was possible to full in love with the characters even more. I loved that we got to revisit Paul, Sandy, Vince and Darren too.
This book is truly amazing. An incredible journey for both Tyson and Dom. I can not wait for the next and sadly last in the series.
Reading The Art of Breathing has taught me, no matter what life throws at us. We can beat it and to just breathe. From reading this book I have found a way to overcome my own panic attacks. I truly believe every person should read BOATK books. From each book a new lesson is learned and that is a what makes these books and every book Tj writes beautiful. I have a few authors I read without having to read the blurb, but Tj’s books will always be at the top. Every single time. I feel he connects with every single person who reads his books in one way or another and that alone makes him a truly amazing person. Each one of us takes something away from the books and hold it within our hearts always. I for one am thankful to Tj for sharing these brilliant stories with us!
