ARC Review: Like Silk Breathing by Camille Duplessis

Like Silk Breathing Like Silk Breathing by Camille Duplessis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars

Content Warnings my ARC didn't have: attempted suicide, depression, death, grief, alcoholism, cheating (kissing only), fade to black, point of view chapters from two side characters

This was a lovely little seaside jaunt of a book. It had some heavy themes but they seemed to be more accepted as something that simply was instead of a Big Dramatic Thing. The subtlety magical world building made me want a deeper dive into the lore of witches and selkies and witch hunters. The two main characters were also lovely and the slowburn relationship was nicely developed.

It's just a nicely packaged simple little story. I wasn't expecting much and it gave me a lot even without Theo ever shifting into a selkie on page. (I am still disappointed we don't get to see Theo as a selkie!) Anyway, the emotional depth in the book is like looking into a tide pool: small but complex. Highly recommend giving this book a shot.

I received an ARC copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
