Restarting the blog

 Even though I don't read bookish blogs as much as I used to, I thought it would be fun to restart mine. No promises on how often I will post but I've missed writing reviews and doing all the bookish events.

Blog Tour - Katie McGarry's One Breath Apart



Title: One Breath Apart

Author: Katie McGarry (Twitter, Website, Facebook, Goodreads, Pinterest, Tumbler, Instagram
Pages: 368


I am delighted to be able to participate in Katie's blog tour. I was given an advance e-copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own - pinky swear.  

I don't really read romance but I make an exception for her. I did a blog tour for Katie several years ago and called her the queen of swoon. My opinion hasn't changed.

One Breath Apart is a bit different that I was expecting. It's written with Katie's usual style but the subject matter was darker. A lot darker. One thing I always enjoy about Katie's stories is that they are more than just romance. She always tackles real issues with grace and carefulness. 

This one is about more than just a "curse" that a teenage boy thinks he's under. More even than the terrible way a girl is treated by her father. It's ultimately about hope and overcoming.

This one gave me all the feels. I read with a sense of dread because of the terrible father but I was rooting for Scarlett and Jesse. Their lives were awful and I wanted them to overcome what they had gone through/were going through. A coming of age story different from what I was expecting.

Although it was a tough read, Katie infused it with a sense of wonder with little touches of magic. And hope. It all goes back to the hope for me.

I would warn that there are triggers of verbal and physical abuse in the story.
