About ONLY A BREATH APART:
They say your destiny is carved in stone. But some destinies are meant to be broken.
The only curse Jesse Lachlin believes in is his grandmother’s will: in order to inherit his family farm he must win the approval of his childhood best friend, the girl he froze out his freshman year.
A fortuneteller tells Scarlett she's psychic, but what is real is Scarlett’s father’s controlling attitude and the dark secrets at home. She may be able to escape, but only if she can rely on the one boy who broke her heart.
Each midnight meeting pushes Jesse and Scarlett to confront their secrets and their feelings, but as love blooms, the curse rears its ugly head…
Four Star Review//
Only a Breath Apart was one for the books! Katie McGarry has outdone herself. I really enjoyed this book.
Jesse and Scarlett just wiggle their way into your heart and catch hold. They were something special. I've enjoyed all of Katie's books but I think this one will hold a special place in my heart.
Jesse and Scarlett had so many issues that were the root of this book. The side characters as well built this story up to be the good book it was.
Katie's words flowed effortless on the pages of this novel. From start to finish, I couldn't put it down. For me, a good book is one you can't put down, one you can devour. And this story was exactly that. The only thing that knocks a star for me was I felt like the story lacked some of the depth it I was really really hoping for but it didn't take away from the story enough that my love for it diminished.
So well written!
“Gritty and real, Only a Breath Apart is a story of hope conjured from pain, strength drawn from innocence, and love earned from self-respect. Beautiful, poignant, and fierce.”
―Kristen Simmons, critically acclaimed author of the Article 5 series
