Would you dare to defy destiny? Are our destinies written in stone?
Do we become nothing more than the self-fulfilling prophesies of other people's opinions?
Or can we dare to become who we believe we were born to be?
“A gorgeous, heartfelt journey of redemption and love” (Wendy Higgins), ONLY A BREATH APART is a young adult contemporary novel from critically acclaimed Katie McGarry. “Haunting, authentic, and ultimately hopeful” (Tammara Webber), ONLY A BREATH APART will be available on all retailers on January 22, 2019!
About ONLY A BREATH APART:
Jesse dreams of working the land that’s been in his family forever. But he’s cursed to lose everything he loves most.
Scarlett is desperate to escape her “charmed” life. But leaving a small town is easier said than done.
Despite their history of heartbreak, when Jesse sees a way they can work together to each get what they want, Scarlett can’t say no. Each midnight meeting between Jesse and Scarlett will push them to confront their secrets and their feelings for each other.
“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

This cover seem so pretty! It kind of remind me of To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han actually. Hmmm...I wonder if that is actually a coincidence or just publisher manipulation...
ReplyDeleteI am totally missing the connection. Maybe we’re looking at different versions of the Jenny Han book. LOL Either way, I like the cover and can’t wait to read the book. :)
DeleteWhat a gorgeous cover!
ReplyDeleteI think so, too, Olivia!
DeleteHey! We did the same cover reveal! <3 I adore Katie McGarry's books, so I was pumped to learn about this one.
ReplyDeleteL @ Do You Dog-ear?
Great minds think alike! :)
DeleteAnd same here about Katie McGarry. When it comes to YA she’s my fave!
I've only read one book by this author and wasn't a huge fan, but I LOVE this cover!! The vibe is so romantic. And I know a lot of awesome people like you love her, so I'm definitely willing to give her books another try. :)
ReplyDelete- Aimee @ Aimee, Always
Aw, too bad you didn’t enjoy the one you tried, Aimee. Her style of contemporary is my favorite and I pretty much inhale everything she writes. :) And I totally agree about the cover being pretty swoony!
DeleteI absolutely love McGarry, and I can't wait for this one!!

I just adore Katie McGarry, Lauren! I no longer read a lot of YA but I'll always make an exception for Katie McGarry. :)
DeleteHer books always sound so good! I have a few of them on my kindle (and more on the wishlist!) but I don't think I've ever actually sat down and read one and that's sad. I need to change it.
ReplyDeleteShe's one of those that I wish could write faster because I always inhale every new release. :)
