The Space Between Our Hearts

WINNER of the 2025 Storytrade Book Award in both Young Adult Contemporary and Young Adult Romance.FINALIST in the 2025 Literary Global Children's Book Award When your entire life is stuffed in your backpack, is there even room for love?

After eighteen years in the foster system, Rindy is ready to put down roots and ditch her backpack for good. But when she gets off the bus in Tinlee Bay, California she's crushed to find that her bad-luck-life traveled with her. Only this time it's worse, because now she's homeless. Enter Nolan, a young man with eyes bluer than the sky who loves forests as much as she does. But he's leaving at the end of the summer. Which shouldn't be a problem, since nobody has ever wanted Rindy in the first place, so why start now? And yet, every day she spends with Nolan feels like home. When Rindy finally achieves the security she's always craved, Nolan asks her to leave with him. Now she'll have to choose-the life she carved out for herself, or the boy who chose her?

The Space Between Our Hearts is a heartfelt, YA contemporary romance about a girl with nothing and a boy with everything, finding home together. Perfect for fans of Kristin Dwyer's The Atlas of Us, and Sarah Dessen's Along for the Ride.
