Only a Breath Apart

A Novel

De: Katie McGarry

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley, Graham Halstead

Best-selling author Katie McGarry’s trademark wrong-side-of-the-tracks romance is given a new twist in the gritty YA contemporary audiobook, 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 fortune-teller 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....

Praise for Only a Breath Apart:

"A gorgeous, heartfelt journey of redemption and love." (New York Times best-selling author Wendy Higgins)

"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)

absolutely loved it!!

this is almost exactly how I imagined Scarlett and Jessie sounded like in my head. the story is amazing and this author is one of my absolute favorites. her stories are the ones that I read over and over and over again, and not just cherry picking my favorite parts, from start to finish.

I squirmed

The story was pretty decent, but there were a handful of scenes that made me so uncomfortable. I know why they were there, but it was still hard to not want to throw my phone in the toilet out of frustration. I ended up listening at 1.25× b/c the narration was very slow.

An emotional YA story with real life concerns

This story is definitely YA (with no sex and very little kissing), but the storyline has some serious real life issues intertwined with the friends to more plot. An overall good book (even if I am a 40 something adult) that I enjoyed listening to. I give kudos to the author for writing this book and giving YA some serious answers to domestic violence and even the tools required to help someone facing those issues..It was done in a easy, concise manner that doesn't weigh you down with guilt and/or emotional upheaval that the topic of violence usually conjures up.

Great book

This book is so great and had so much emotion.
Extremely enjoyable! I would recommend

amazing book! great story

loved this book and the lesson to learn with it. Learning to forgive not for them but for you, not letting your past determine your future wonderful story of strength and rising above
