Across the Hall

Kat Jackson

For Caitlin Gregory, life after divorce has been an exercise in getting to know herself again. Finding love is the last thing on her mind. She scorns the idea of dating because she has all she needs--a nice new condo to call her own, her best friend right next door, and a new job that's taking her back to her professional roots.

When Caitlin sets her eyes on Mallory Walker, however, she realizes she may not want to completely shut herself off from dating. Crossing paths with Mallory was not on Caitlin's post-divorce agenda, but once she feels that unmistakable spark ignite, she feels herself drawn to the other woman despite the warnings and raised eyebrows from others.

While Caitlin's emotions are ready to jump in, Mallory's feelings are singing a much different song. The chill emanating from Mallory should be enough to ward off anyone, but Caitlin is nothing if not persistent.

About the Author

Jackson, Kat: - Kat is a thirty-something-year-old high school English teacher who has been buried in and under books for thirty-some years. Kat is a lifelong learner, and currently has two masters degrees: one in English Literature, and another in Clinical & Counseling Psychology. She puts far too much stock into words, so what better thing to do than become a writer? (Truth is, she's been writing since she was twelve years old.)

Kat lives in Pennsylvania with her cliched three cats, a whole lot of books, and some houseplants that she tries very hard to keep alive...but honestly, they're all dead except for one. Running preserves most of Kat's sanity, and in her "spare time" she also works as a mental health therapist.

Praise for this book

Kat Jackson's Begin Againwas an incredible debut and she became my favorite new author of 2020. Needless to say I was really looking forward to this sophomore effort. It didn't disappoint.

It's a workplace romance featuring two mains with a lot of baggage to bring to a fledging relationship. This story is really told in third person from Caitlin's POV, so we don't really know what's going on in Mallory's head. I really enjoyed following the ups and downs of the relationship and it was hard to tell where it was going. I started reading and next thing I knew, I was finished. That's what I love about a book.--NetGalley-Karen R.
