Loved this book so much, this was everything I needed and wanted to read. Emotional and heartwarming story about never giving up on love.

A heart-wrenching coming of age love story that draws you into the characters with each chapter. Jace and Andi find soulmates in each other in their early teens, despite being from very disparate worlds. Their love story develops and we are taken back to the beauty and awkwardness of young love. The music in guitarist Jace's life makes for a poetic narrative when told in his point of view, which is balanced by the bluntness of Andi's character perspective. They are driven apart by lies and misunderstandings, and are later kept apart by Andi's life-altering decision to help a friend in need.
The characters come to life in this novel. It takes the reader on an emotional journey in a story spanning two decades. The Space Between is an ode to endurance of true love and I truly relished this book.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC and the opportunity to review.

This is the first book I’ve read by Sarah Ready but it won’t be the last. I laughed and I cried a lot. I was full of cold when I read this book so it was a great distraction from feeling sorry for myself for a couple of days. I fell in love with characters I disliked at first. I loved that the story was told from two characters point of view and was told through three parts. Highly recommended and is perfect for those who love happy ever afters with a little drama and angst along the way.

I went into this book expecting a cheesy, love-filled romance that would be sweet, quick, and then done. What I didn't expect was to grow so invested. I had to know what happened next and why. I couldn't stop rooting for the two main characters. If you are looking for your next romance read, this book should be a top contender.

This book was heartbreaking but I love it nonetheless. I cannot express how much this book just made me feel so much emotions. I want to relive it and enjoy it once more!

Thank you Netgalley for this amazing work from a new favourite author!

I could not get enough of this heartbreaking romance. I've already recommended it to readers who enjoyed The Light Between Us and Carley Fortune romance novels. Hoping to read more from this author!

This is my 5th Sarah Ready book and man do I love her!

I listened to French Holiday a couple months ago and I fell in love with the laugh out loud hilarity and the characters. That book quickly got added to my 2023 Top Reads list. I listened to her Josh & Gemma duo and a novella next and both were great but French Holiday still had favorite—along comes The Space Between & now I am lost and unable to choose a favorite.

This book has heart and took me back and forth on an emotional ride. There’s been some sad/emotional in the previous books I’ve enjoyed by her, but not like this—I recommend lotion or aloe infused tissues as you will need them more than once.

Absolutely a 5⭐️ and now I need to go push everything else down the TBR and devour the rest of her books immediately!

Highly entertaining and emotionally thrilling adventure. Really enjoyed this emotional, sexy, fun and action-packed journey filled with engaging charters, witty dialog, heart racing twists and undeniable passion, was a great read from beginning to end.

This is the first book I've read by Sarah Ready and all I can is I'm hooked! I couldn't put the book down. I was so absorbed in the opposites attract romance between Jace and Andrea. I've become a new fan of Sarah Ready..

Jase a struggling musician from the Bronx meets Andi from a wealthy New York family in Central Park.
They fall in love and promise to be together forever., but what does fate have in store?
I loved this book, a nice change from crime or books that are deep and meaningful.

Such a cute, cozy story! I love that it was unpredictable and not the typical storylines that we are all used to. I'm going to have to dive into more of Ready's stories.

This is one of the best books I’ve read this year!!!
Everyone should read this book!

A powerful, life changing, heart wrenching, soul filling story.

I loved ALL the characters. It was so beautifully written. Just utterly fantastic. It pulls you in and won’t let you go.

Get ready to cry and laugh and cry some more. And when you’re done, your heart will feel so full you’ll think it might just explode.

If you loved Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren or Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover I think you’ll adore this book.

5/5 Stars!!!!

Thank you so much for this amazing and beautiful ARC!!

I literally just finished this book and jumped out of bed to write this review. Not even five minutes ago, and im not exaggerating. This...this book is probably the most powerful book I have read all year. I feel like i have an entirely new out look on life, and hope burning in my chest- this book was beautiful inside and out.

(I feel so bad it took me so long to read, but as one of the themes in this book stated– things happen for a reason, I was meant to read this book now and not when i originally received the ARC, stick with me i promise it will make sense!!)

A second chance romance, a book of loss, grief, growth...of life. I mean i legit am at a loss of how to even sit and write this review, besides telling you to go get this book, a box of tissues, and an emotional support snack. I'm not even going to give a mini synopsis, just go get it and trust me. Reid, Andi, and Jace will forever have my heart completely.

This book showcased many different topics, such as materialism can only do so much in your life if love is not present, finding yourself, redemption, realizing that there are different types of love in the world, and the fact that we can and do have multiple different connections with people even if we don't quite know the reasoning behind them, and even how love and trust really are the answer to many problems or misunderstandings. That the universe does have a plan, and that although the road to the finish line may not be linear (and usually is not in any way shape or form) that we have to be patient and allow life to flow.

This book sucked me in the best way possible. For all my anime watchers out there, have you ever watched an anime where the animators out did themselves? Where the animation was so pretty, so filled with life that it almost glowed off the screen?? (some examples of this to me would be Violet Evergarden, Bubble, any studio Ghibli film, Fruits Basket, etc.) The anime usually has at least one scene of a beautiful field and the sunlight shining just right– thats how this book read to me. The vibrant verbiage and descriptions, its almost like love and hope poured out of this book in waves and wrapped itself around me as i was reading it.

I LOVED how this read. I LOVED how this flowed. I have no critiques if I'm being honest. I am at a loss of words in the best way possible.

I just.....if you haven't put this book on your TBR yet, please do. And read it when it calls to you, when you are ready, when you really feel it. Or dive into this. You won't regret it besides the fact that your eyes will definitely sweat. Sarah Ready out did herself, and I know I'm about two months late. Yet this was beautiful.

TLDR; go get the book. Go get your tissues. Change your life LOLOLOL.

"I didn't need to make up a story about him. The story was already there. He was mine. And I was his. I felt it, like someone had reached out, shaken me, and said, "That boy, that one right there? He's yours. And you are his." - Andi.

"It took one look to fall for her. It's taken two weeks to never want to be without her." - Jace.

"...but you don't have room for hate or bitterness when there's this much love."

I think those lines pretty summed up where the story started. There's nothing else I could say about this but I've been so immersed in the story, I love both Andi and Jace. I love their whirlwind romance blossoming from a teen/first love romance into matured one, with many painful twists and turns. This story not only serves the whole heartbreaking and emotional romance, but also took us to look at how love between parents and their children, siblings, and the family you've chosen grows, hurts each other, and to heal and forgive each other.

I also love how this story not just telling us about true love, but allowing us to welcome a new love which by any means not replacing an old one, but embrace us to feels all the kind of love exists in the world.

I also love the story about band, Sarah Ready really highlight the process of the rock stars in the making from their first kick to their high and lows, on and off stage. I think this book is my favorite one from her so far.

Thank you to NetGalley and publisher for the e-ARC in exchange for honest review.

I honestly didn't really love this but it was fine. I really did like the premise of this but the love triangle kind of through me through a loop. I wasn't a huge fan of it plus love triangles is one of my least favorite trope. I did enjoy the writing of it, but the story just wasn't for me.

I love Sarah Ready so I was super thrilled for this book! For some reason I put it off and I terribly regret doing so! This was such a phenomenal, emotional story. Seriously, I was not prepared for the level of emotional damage even though all the reviews talked about it. Once I settled into the story, I couldn’t put it down. I loved that while, yes it’s a romance, it’s more about different types of love, family, the power of music and redemption. I can’t even really put into words my feelings, but just do yourself a favor and read it asap if you haven’t.

As I started this book I had an idea of where the tone and narrative would end up by the end. Little did I know that Sarah Ready was going to completely obliterate all expectations in the best way possible. I didn't want this story to end. Every character felt fully realized and even when I disagreed with one's choices I could see the thought process behind their actions. Every twist and turn genuinely surprised me and felt organic. Definitely a book I'd recommend to all!

Such a beautifully written novel! I adored this character driven contemporary romance. Jace and Andi's love story had me in tears. I loved the growth of all the characters , and that music and grace played such a part of this novel. The Space Between was a slow build of a book in the best way. It made me want to savor every moment life has to offer me. Thank you so much to the publisher W.W. Crown and NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for an honest review. This was my first novel by Sarah Ready and I'm excited to explore her blacklist of books now.

Thank you to W. W. Crown, Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Members' Audiobooks and NetGalley for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

This is my second book by this author and I dragged my feet on this one. The first one I read was a bit corny and a silly not totally believable romance, still likable just didn't make me love the author.
So when I started this one , I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was! The character development and small secrets revealed were very well done, with a completely believable romance(s) that left me feeling complete!

Loved, loved loved this story! I have also listened to the audio version of this story and was completely taken in...
Recommended for all fans of romance , new adult and contemporary stories

This book broke me! I think I cried more than in any other book I’ve previously heard. So much heartbreak, so much love, so much living is enclosed in this book. And yet, it’s very positive, there’s no rancor, only love and best wishes for the one they love.

Andi and Jace met in Central Park, one day Jace was busking with his brothers and friends, then bullies from his school came and thrashed him. Andi came to his rescue, ran the bullies away and they became best friends on that day, just because Andi declared it.

Jace’s parents died years ago, and his older brother Dean is raising him and his brother River. They are all musical prodigies, they play to raise money for food. But they have ambitions to play for the world, to help people with their music. Andi immediately attached to them, and follows them to their house, to their practices and to their gigs.

Andi is really Andrea Leighton-Hughes, daughter of a mega billionaire who lives in the top four floors of The Tower, a building that is decadently and ridiculously decorated. In spite of her riches, she’s lonely and loveless, since her mother ignores her and her father only sees his children as tools for his prestige and reputation. Only with Jace does she feel seen and appreciated.

Their story is turbulent, charged with emotions, and doomed by the disapproval of Jace’s big brother who sees Andi as a hindrance. They are torn apart more than once, by tragic events out of their control. What is extraordinary is that the love is always present, and there is no regret, no hate, no anger. Only love and the sadness that they are not together.

“I send her all my love, I send her my wishes for happiness, and this time around, if she hears me singing, I hope she feels only joy.”

It’s an emotional rollercoaster, narrated in beautiful prose and detailed descriptions, full of beautiful characters and not so beautiful characters. I was enthralled throughout the whole book!
