    About this audiobook

    Bestselling 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 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…

    Praise for Only a Breath Apart:

    "A gorgeous, heartfelt journey of redemption and love." —New York Times bestselling 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

      I really loved it!!! Definitely something I would recommend to others
    • 3/5
      The story itself was detailed and good until the end were it felt rushed and off track. The author clearly has some weird theology issues made all the more clear by the playlist at the end. The attempts to put the occult in with Christianity turned me off from reading anything else by this author. The supernatural elements of the plot fell flat and seemed unfinished. There was so much going on in this book and it just didn't tie together neatly.
