If you knew how your love story ends, would you dare to begin?
From the outside, Lorelai is an ordinary young woman with a normal life. She loves reading, she works at the local cinema and she adores living with her best friend. But she carries a painful burden, something she's kept hidden for years; whenever she kisses someone on the lips, she sees how they are going to die.
Lorelai has never known if she's seeing what was always meant to be, or if her kiss is the thing that decides their destiny. And so, she hasn't kissed anyone since she was eighteen.
Then she meets Grayson. Sweet, clever, funny Grayson. And for the first time in years she yearns for a man's kiss. But she can't...or can she? And if she does, should she try to intervene and change what she sees?
Spellbinding, magical and utterly original, With This Kiss is one love story you will never forget.

Praise for With This Kiss'With This Kiss was a complete joy to read, and once I'd started I genuinely couldn't stop. The characters were so relatable and I adored Lorelai and Joanie - and of course Grayson too. I was entranced and beguiled from start to finish by this beautiful story. Carrie has single-handedly converted me to magic realism. Also, it would make a great movie!'
