Breathless by Amy McCulloch is available now.

Having read nothing by the writer in the past, the premise of this book sounded very intriguing, so I wanted to see for myself what happens with Cecily and her new adventure.

I cannot find words to express the chilling reactions and goosebumps that I got while reading this novel.

The beautiful setting is one of the best in the world and I can only travel with my eyes on a screen while searching for online pictures. I was reminded that there are so many places in this life that just take your breath away, and the author has a gift of putting them into phrases.

I cheered for Cecily to discover a way out towards her aim, even if the danger was moving closer to her with each step she took forward. All her emotions and reactions felt like mines.

This is a beautiful and heartbreaking story about keeping going, even at your lowest point, and fight for your dreams and life.

The ending was really unexpected, and I can only say that you have to read it for yourself because it's worth everything.

I’m very grateful to the publisher for my review copy through NetGalley.
