Only a Breath Apart

by Katie McGarry

Jesse Lachlin is cursed.

So the town folklore says, but the only curse Jesse believes 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, 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 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…

Man, this book hit me harder than I was expecting. I was expecting an angsty teen read but I still wasn't prepared to be knocked on my ass the way that I was with this one. The beginning was a little slow for me but when I got a feel for what was going on, the story picked up and never lost me again. Katie McGarry did her thing with this one. It was good. I'm glad that I read it.
