Bestselling author Katie McGarry’s trademark wrong-side-of-the-tracks romance is given a new twist in the gritty YA contemporary novel, Only a Breath Apart.

Jesse Lachlin is cursed.

So the town folklore says, but while Jesse’s had his fair share of tragedy, the only curse he believes is in 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, Scarlett Copeland.

Scarlett Copeland is psychic.

Glory Gardner tells Scarlett she has hidden psychic abilities, but Scarlett thinks Glory is delusional. What is real is Scarlett’s father’s irrational fears, controlling attitude, and the dark secrets at home. Scarlett may have a way to escape, but there’s a hitch: she’ll have to rely on the one person she used to trust, the same boy who broke her heart, Jesse Lachlin.

Each midnight meeting pushes Jesse and Scarlett to confront their secrets and their feelings for each other. But as love blooms, the curse rears its ugly head…


 

3 Reasons You Should Read…

Only a Breath Apart by Katie McGarry

 

  • From book number one Katie McGarry had us hooked. Only a Breath Apart is the latest installment that proves just how worthy she is of our drop-everything-and-read list.
  • Jesse and Scarlett continue McGarry’s streak of raw, gritty and real characters that you can’t help but cheer for and fall in love with. They are messy and trying to figure out who they are, but that’s all part of what makes their stories so compelling.
  • This one does fall into all the categories of things we love in Katie’s books, it’s also very different from anything else she’s written before. It’s slightly darker, it’s more graphic, and some of the content is tough to swallow. But you are still left with her usual beautifully written emotional story filled with characters that stay with you long after the last page.
