Wayward
Wow, Breathe Out Slow is a beautiful story of love and loss and love again that I soaked up like an Oreo in warm milk.
And okay, that analogy was weird, but really it made me so soft and melty and fall apart I just…
The story begins with Ryan suffering the loss of the love of his life, Chris. Through flashbacks we see just some of the best moments of their friends-to-lovers relationship, and I felt almost as much ache as Ryan.
But then someone comes into Ryan’s life, rescuing him from a bad situation. Once Ryan’s feeling better, however, Liam is reluctant to say goodbye, wanting to see that he’s okay. He offers him both a ride, which Ryan accepts, and his phone number, which Liam hopes Ryan will use if he ever needs help again…
Breathe out slow is full of hurt and comfort and so much love. It’s full of want and longing and fear. It makes you feel EVERYTHING. Cry and laugh and cry a different kind of tears.
I loved the way this story was told. Seamlessly, streamlined. Information and description sewn in so beautifully I hardly even saw the words. Only the story, the vivid, beautiful, deep characters.
And I will ship the hell out of “Lyan” to my dying day.
If it wasn’t clear, I *loved* Breathe Out Slow. 5/5, 100% recommend
