I'm not a fan of YA romance much these days, but I actually enjoyed this one because it was on the clean side. I thought them losing their virginity to each other was well done.

After they graduate from high school, Andy joins Jace and his brothers as they go on tour. I mostly liked Jace's relationship with this brothers. They are really close due to losing both their parents in a tragic way. But one brother made a selfish choice that changed the course for these love birds.

The story jumps 8 years and Jace & Andy finally see each other again. They've never stopped thinking about each other for all these years. Could this be fate and their second chance? Or did the author give us a heart wrenching twist that'll make you shed a tear or two?

In case you needed one more twist ~ wowza with the culprit of Jace's parents death, I didn't see that coming at all.

Then we have a 5 year jump that ends in the second chance we have been waiting ages and ages and ages for.

Overall, a lovely coming of age story, on the longer side, that'll yank your heartstrings, make you sad and put a smile on your face when it all comes full circle.

Narration notes:
They both did a great job. Their voices sounded perfect for their age.

I really enjoyed The Space Between. In a nutshell, Andrea Leighton-Hughes is the daughter of an extremely wealthy family, who have plans for her future. She meets and falls in love with Jace Morgan, a young man from the rough side of town. He plays guitar in his family band. When Andrea's parents give her an ultimatum, she leaves everything behind and goes on the road with Jace. His brothers are not happy with her being around, she is his muse and what will happen when she leaves. When an incident occurs that causes her to distrust Jace, she packs up and goes home. Before they meet again, there is The Space Between.

I really liked Andrea and felt terrible for her. Not only her own family, but Jace's were wrong in their treatment of her. All she wanted was to love Jace, but everyone else had other ideas. Jace was a wonderful character that also got the wrong end of the stick. Why couldn't everyone just leave them to be in love. I am not going to say what happened while they are apart, because that is a wonderful part of the story. I just want to say that what Andrea does because she is such a caring person, blew me away. This was a love story that had my emotions all over the place, but ended with a smile on my face. The audiobook was narrated by James Fouhey and Rachel F. Hirsch. They give voice to Andrea and Jace as their POVs come in alternating chapters. I definitely recommend this one to those of you that enjoy a good love story.

I could read Sarah Ready books all day. They are so full of fun and character that you know you're in for a treat.

I am such a fan of Sarah Ready and enjoy many of her romcoms but this is a turn that I did not see coming and I am here for it.

First of all, why isn't this book being talked about more? It is really so good and I feel like everyone should read it. I'm not going to lie, the page count threw me off for a long time, but then I decided to dive it and could not believe I held off on this book as long as I did.

I loved the love story between the two main characters, Jace and Andrea and the emotional roller coaster their life took me on. I was sucked in from the beginning and really had strong feels on how their journey played out.

As an audiobook though, it was really hard getting into Jace's characters because the male narrator's voice was not for me and I could not connect as much as I wanted to. I had to push through and ignore my inner voice getting annoyed at his narration.

Other than that I am raving about this novel thanks to NetGalley and W. W. Crown.

I actually really enjoyed this book. It is very long (100+ chapters) and dragged at times, but sped up REALLY QUICKLY as we got past 50%. What a crazy story! Several well executed twists. I love how everything was set up and came together. I was not a fan of several characters, including the main one, but still liked the story and the writing. Saphy definitely lacked personality, I felt like I did not know anything about her by the end of the book, but I guess it's understandable in her circumstances. I was hooked by the middle and binge listened to the second half!

Thank you NetGalley for providing this audiobook in exchange for my honest review!

The plot and all that was great. I just thought the narrator was a little boring. I did read the physical book which I really loved. I cried my eyes, so if you are needing a good cry, you should definitely read this. The tragedies in this book are so relatable to life.

Another enjoyable audiobook, The Space Between by Sarah Ready is a great read to escape the daily grind.

I didn’t enjoy the FMC, I didn’t like that she was lying about where she came from, I get she didn’t love coming from a cruel family but still.

I just couldn’t get on with the book, I don’t know if it was just not the right sort of book for me or just a bad time or the fact it was audiobook (some books are just better on paper!) I’d perhaps give it another go physically but something just didn’t hit right with this.

I want to thank the author and publisher for access to this one. This book just wasn't hitting for me. I ended up reading part of the book with my eyeballs and part of the book with my ears, and I just couldn't connect with the characters. It was a little slow from the start for me, unfortunately. While I was interested in the premise and I love a time jump, I just didn't find myself wanting to figure out how the characters connected from past to present day. In addition, I didn't enjoy the narrators as much as I typically like to, and the length of this one was just too hard to push through.

I will not be reviewing this anywhere except in this space.

Thank you, endlessly, for access to this book. I'm excited to try a book by Sarah again in the future!

i don't think Sarah Ready is the author for me! my second read for her and I just found myself not caring about what was happening and also found the narrators a bit annoying.

The Space Between by Sarah Ready was my favorite type of romance, 2nd chance lovers. It started a little slow for me but was a sweet story about the resilence of love.

Sorry, I got the arc but I didn’t complete it in time so, couldn’t give you the review. The cover and the rutile looks really u retesting but I just realized that I just couldn’t do audiobook.I listen the first few chapters but just couldn’t concentrate on the book and my mind was just wondering. So, it me that’s faulty here😅

Andrea, a wealthy Upper East Sider, meets Jace, a musician from the Bronx, one day at Central Park. The two become inseparable but find themselves struggling. Is love strong enough to keep them together and heal old wounds?

This story had so many layers and though I felt some similarities to Daisy Jones and the Six (particularly the travelling as a band part) -- what unfolds was pretty ugly and frustrating. We explore topics of grief, deception, betrayal, difficult upbringings, family dynamics and more. For the most part, things seemed black and white, but given the history, things get muddy and especially heartbreaking towards the 2nd half. Overall, this was a rollercoaster of a read and I found myself tearing up at the bitter sweet, yet complicated circumstances of this story.

This book wasn’t for me and it was not able to hook me from the beginning. I do love the cover of the book as well as the title and would recommend it to anyone who loves romance.

the first half just dragged on too much. I did not care for the male narrator's voice and I found it hard to listen to. It just wasn't for me.

What a fantastic story about what happens when two people met and grow together and apart and all the space in between. Told from the 2 main characters pov it follows their story from meeting growing apart and meeting again and everything in between. Both narrators capture the heart of both characters and bring the story so true alive. They made me laugh smile and cry. Feel anger and made me wish things were different. I loved every second the only bit that could jave been better is we learnt more about the female character's life in the space where they werent yogether than we did the male and thats it. A solid 5 star

The cover of this book is what had me drawn immediately. ITS SO PRETTY. Sarah Ready is good too. Hehe.

This book. Made me smile, cry, smile some more. It had all the feels. Its a heartwarming story about never giving up on love. Sarah Ready did a great job with character development, storyline and the overall togetherness of this book. Jace and Andreas love story is one that I will remember for a while to come. Following the couple through three parts of their life was a great storyline.

The narrator did a great job portraying the characters and the storyline.

Will totally recommend this charming, funny, warm, sweet and loving story.

*Spoilers alert* When I requested this audiobook as an ARC, I did not expect that half of it would be your typical YA and the other half involves a love triangle. There is no indication in the blurb apart from hinting that the couple would encounter many obstacles in their path to true love. Thing is, I really am too old for YA and love triangles are really not my thing. The first half was excruciatingly drawn out and the second half devoted too much time on this secondary romance that I really did not need. Remember Jace? The love of your love whom you met again after painful years of estrangement in a dream reunion only to give him nary a thought for the next six years.

This audio ran for 13+ hours but could easily be edited down to 8-9 hours. Great narration.

Andrea and Jace are meant to be together. They know it from the moment they meet in Central Park. She’s a wealthy girl living in The Tower playing by her parents’ rules, and he’s an orphaned musical prodigy living in the Bronx. Despite their differences, they really see each other. But what happens when life tears them apart? Can they find their way back to each other all those years later?

I loved this so much. The author did a great job painting the scene, and it felt like escaping into an epic love story movie every time I picked this one up. It made me feel all the things and was a really sweeping and moving story of all the different kinds of love. Broken into three parts, you really got to go through life with these characters and see their development and how various events affected and changed them. The depth of the story was really gripping, and I didn’t want it to end.

Thank you to Sarah Ready, W. W. Crown, IBPA, and NetGalley for the advanced listeners copy in exchange for my honest review. This book is out now!
