What happens when the person you love most is also the person who exposes you most?

Maya and Ethan meet in a coffee shop collision that feels like destiny. He's a brooding writer processing his sister's death. She's an aspiring artist selling out in corporate marketing. Their connection is instant, electric, and completely consuming.

But Ethan has a dangerous habit: he turns everything into a story. Their fights become chapters. Their intimacy becomes prose. When his debut novel—featuring a relationship unmistakably theirs—becomes a bestseller, Maya realizes she's been reduced to material.

Four years. Multiple breakups. Three cities. One question: Can love survive when one person needs privacy and the other needs to write about everything?

The Space Between Us is a raw, honest exploration of modern relationships, the ethics of art, and why some loves never let us go—even when they should. Readers who ugly-cried over Normal People and argued about the ending of One Day will devour this devastating debut and immediately text everyone they know.
