I have loved Katie McGarry’s books since I was fourteen. That’s almost a decade’s worth of books from a single author. And I love every single one of them.

Of course, Katie McGarry has, up until now, been contemporary. Only A Breath Apart had just the slightest hint of paranormal. Until this one. Held in the same world as Only A Breath Apart, Echoes Between Us takes on death, grief and sicknesses in the way that only Katie McGarry knows how.

Veronica first made an appearance in Every Breath Apart. She was the “weird” kid, the one that everyone denied knowing in public. Sawyer was the kid that, according to the public, was perfect. But he was drowning in his reality.

They were both sick in completely different ways. Sawyer’s was more emotional and psychological while Veronica’s was more physical. Either way the challenges these two face were so much harder than any normal YA.

It was captivating and heart breaking and awesome. At the beginning, the voice was a little passive but I think that was deliberate because of the situation the characters were in. There’s diversity, family, love and growth. Katie McGarry keeps on getting better.
