THE SPACE BETWEEN

THE SPACE BETWEEN How could he truly understand the reality of his death? He was only seventeen, for Christ’s sake. After Caden's Jeep crashes off the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, he observes his body and those of his best friend Tanner, along with Tanner’s girlfriend Audrey, being pulled from the Delaware River. Unable to witness his family's grief upon hearing the news, Caden searches for Tanner, hoping he stayed behind like him, but he ends up alone in a confusing, unfamiliar world. Caden remains indoors, waiting for a sign from heaven, until he discovers the only survivor is in critical condition in the ICU. He forces himself to see her for himself. However, as he approaches Lauren’s room, he panics and flees, fearful of what remains of her and why she survived when they did not. Days later, he sees Audrey passing by in a trolley, which plunges him into emotional turmoil for betraying Tanner by kissing her on the day they all died. When she tries to build a friendship, Caden resists, haunted by shame over his past actions and the guilt they may have contributed to their deaths. When Caden finally meets Lauren, he can only think she has become an undead, bringing light into his dark world. But Lauren keeps secrets, and her presence prompts more questions than she is willing to answer, overshadowed by his unresolved feelings for Audrey. Two girls hold his heart, but with different hands. THE SPACE BETWEEN is a heartfelt coming-of-age romance that explores love, life, and the power of friendship in an extraordinary world.
