I have no words. I devoured this book in a day. It put me through the wringer. I felt all of the emotions. I was choked up and crying sad tears and smiling, laughing, and crying happy tears. I loved Andi and Jace with my entire being. Andi with her strong convictions and her ability to know exactly what she wanted. Jace with his sweet, loving, lyrical heart. Their story put my heart through a meat grinder and spit it out shredded until it was molded back into something new and better. Sarah did a magnificent job of making me feel connected to everyone. All the growth and relationships with characters you wouldn’t expect just made this book a million times better. I will be screaming from the rooftops for everyone to read this book!

I absolutely loved the narrators! They brought the story to life and I love dual POV with dual narration.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy of this audiobook! All thoughts are my own.

I don't even know where to begin. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝑩𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 by ⁠𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 destroyed me. I felt all the feelings. I could not stop listening; I was addicted to this story even though my heart was breaking, and I wanted to scream. I couldn't push the pause button. I smiled, swooned, cried, and got angry. Then my heart broke, and I cried even harder. I got hopeful, only to have my hopes dashed. I couldn't fathom how such a beautiful and pure love could go wrong. This story took the right person, wrong time trope, to a whole new level. It was extremely frustrating but in such a deeply satisfying way. I knew from the synopsis that Jace and Andi were destined to find their way back to each other. Still, I didn't realize how tight I would need to hang on for this emotional roller coaster ride. This book was full of great joy but also deep sadness and sorrow. It is a lyrical, beautiful, heart-wrenching story of family, friendship, forgiveness, fate, and the ability of true love to prevail. The characters are unforgettable and left an indelible mark on my heart. Every word was perfectly written. From beginning to end, this story flowed; the twists and turns made for an epic journey. The narration only added to the experience. James Fouhey and Rachel F. Hirsch did a fantastic job bringing the story to life. This was a phenomenal story! If you are a hopeless romantic like me, do yourself a favor and grab a copy!⁠

Thank you, @netgalley and @ibpalovesindies, for the chance to listen to this fantastic book!

This captivating, sentimental and profound story is an ideal choice for anyone who believes in love and romance. With themes such as forgiveness, destiny and the power of love, 'The Space Between' is both delightful and enchanting.

The plot follows the lives of Andi (short for Andrea) and Jace, as they navigate their way through life, always keeping each other in their hearts and minds. It hooked me from the very beginning and was rooting for these two to find their happy ending. Although there were some frustrating moments along the way, my eagerness to know what happens next kept me engaged.

The narration was exceptional, breathing life into the characters. Even though I didn't always agree with their choices, both Andi and Jace were likeable and relatable.

This is the first work I've read by this author, and I'm now eager to check out their other books and future releases.

If you're a fan of books that provide an escape or are a hopeless romantic like me, this is an absolute must-read in all formats.

Not me just on the train, listening to the audiobook for The Space Between, and holding back tears.

The Space Between, a dual-perspective romance between Jace and Andi, was such an unpredictable emotional roller-coaster, and I was reeled in hook, line, and sinker. I couldn’t put it down and every time I had to, I couldn’t stop thinking about the characters.

When Jace and Andi meet, it is coup de foudre—the stars aligned for them; the Universe wants them together. And so their love story starts, an endearing one at that. But time and again, life throws curve balls at them because such is life. Will their love prevail?

Sarah Ready’s writing is brilliant—the way she writes her flawed characters, describes love and music, introduces plot twists, builds angst and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Mild spoilers
Docked a star because, Jace and Andi were each other’s first loves, and of course moving on from your first love is hard, but given how things ended, they couldn’t get over each other after the eight years apart? Maybe the realist in me didn’t buy this. And I wish we got a bit more of Jace during their years apart—because I loved Jace and his family members as well as the band/touring/concert vibes.

Nevertheless, this book about love, found family, and forgiveness, I highly recommend.

Thank you NetGalley, W.W. Crown, and Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) for this audio ARC.

DAMN. Do not let the cover fool you into thinking this is a romantic comedy. It will punch you in the gut time and time again. This was so beautifully done and is bound to be a hit with romance fans.

I finished and immediately wanted to read it again.

Bring the tissues (unless you are me and don't cry from books) and prepare for a rollercoaster!

I would like to express my gratitude to W. W. Crown and the Members' Audiobooks from the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) for providing this audio book.

When I first started listening to this story, I couldn't help but wonder why things became complicated. However, despite the initial confusion, I truly cherished this book.

It all began with a beautiful love story, but along the way, something went wrong. I found it difficult to understand why and how these unfortunate circumstances unfolded.

It left me feeling disheartened and struggling to comprehend the reasons behind the heartbreak. However, as the story progressed, I gradually gained clarity.

Their love was strong, and they made significant sacrifices, especially the female protagonist. However, everything changed after a particular concert. She made a decision that altered the course of her life, choosing a different path that focused on her intellect. At least, that's what she believed. But her kind and caring heart continued to impact me deeply.

By the end of the book, I was overwhelmed with a mix of emotions, but fortunately, most of them were positive.

Overall, this audio book took me on an emotional rollercoaster, captivating me with its touching narrative. I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to experience it.

4.5 ⭐️

Andrea comes from an extremely wealthy and powerful family that has far more interest in power and manipulation than in showing her love. Jace comes from a family that has far more love than money. They meet and quickly fall for one another, but then life and family tears them apart.

This is such an epic love story, and it keeps you engaged from the first, truly unputdownable. The audiobook is perfectly narrated by James Fouhey & Rachel F. Hirsch.
