Breathless by Amy McCulloch
3.25
adventurous challenging dark slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Let me start by saying, I absolutely love (and respect the hell out of) the fact that the author has actually summited the mountain on which this novel takes place. I have learned more about mountaineering than I ever thought possible. Unfortunately, my toxic trait is believing that I could successfully climb a mountain now. 🥴😆

Now, as a thriller junkie, I did not love this. It felt very predictable the entire time. Also, it was soo incredibly slow 🐌 I almost gave up when I was 250 pages in and they hadn't even started climbing the mountain yet. 😆 I did really enjoy the writing style and that's probably what kept me going. 
Overall, ⭐⭐⭐.25
