The Kid is all grown up now, and this is his story. It's not always easy, and that's good because real life rarely is. |

Seafare is still a charming town. College scenes are a bit unreal and lack detail. The trip to Arizona is outrageous! |

Poor Ty is kept a virgin for way too long. Most sex scenes are more humorous than hot. |

Ty isn't as clever as he used to be; in fact he's gotten down right dumb. Not enough Bear and Otter time! Secondary characters are delightful. |

Love what T.J.Klune did with Ty's path through life! Being a smart kid doesn't mean their adult path is always easy or smooth. Sometimes being too smart too young is a detriment. |
“The
Art of Breathing” by T.J.Klune
continues the story started in “Bear,
Otter, and the Kid”. These characters are familiar friends with
whom we have shared many emotional moments. Finally it's The Kid's
turn for his story. T.J.Klune
does a wonderful job of writing a believable plot for Ty's life which
doesn't end in some fairy tale of him heading the United Nations.
Life is rarely that easy, especially for those who are child
prodigies. The only thing I would have preferred is more page
time for Dominic, and more about his point of view. I liked the road
trip to visit some favorite characters in Arizona from “Tell
Me It's Real”, but missed Otter and Bear. They were mainly in
the background.
“The Art of Breathing” is not recommended as a stand alone book. You have to read the first two books in the series to truly understand the other characters, and the trauma which they have experienced. This book is more than worth the $5.79 ebook price, and in fact buying the entire series is a worthy investment.
