The Spaces Between Stars
Chase and Lia have been best friends forever. He's quiet, artistic, and secretly terrified of being seen. She's bold, restless, and always chasing the next thing. They share a strange ritual: every year, on Lia's birthday, they take a small trip to somewhere neither of them has been-something she started after her brother died in a car accident on her 18th. This year, everything changes. Lia's leaving the country in two months to study photography in Iceland. Chase is staying behind, stuck in the sleepy town they've both grown to resent. As a final goodbye, Lia proposes the ultimate trip: a 30-day cross-country journey, following a trail of places her brother once wanted to visit. But as the two hit the road in her brother's old, barely-holding-it-together van, they begin uncovering pieces of themselves they've hidden for years. Old songs, lost photos, forgotten dreams and feelings neither of them are ready for. Each stop on the journey carries an emotional weight-a moment they have to face. A love they never expected. A goodbye they never prepared for. And a decision that might break them, or finally bring them together.Complete![Love Don't Cost A Thing.

NOTE: I REVISED BEFORE YOU GO, SO THERE WILL BE SOME MISINFORMATION IN THIS ONE REGARDING LEON & ELIZA'S RELATIONSHIP. I WILL FIX IT SOON, THOUGH! * I would HIGHLY recommend reading BEFORE YOU GO and THE ONE YOU FIGHT FOR before you read this novel.

And it's been there for nearly fifteen years. He hasn't tried to read it. He can't. He won't.

But as Leo finds himself heading to Whistler, BC to explore where his father was born and who he was before he died in a car accident, he begins to wonder if that bucket list could give him any clues. Aria Madden is the daughter of the now-retired, famous NHL player, Luke Madden. Anyone would consider that a lot to live up to, but Aria is content with her current position. In January, she'll be competing in the Winter Olympics for Canada's women's hockey team. Over the summer, she's going to be training in Whistler, BC with the rest of the team, all while staying at her aunt's house. But even though it seems like she has everything under control, Aria is stuck in a whirlwind of anxiety. While she's happy and excited that her hard work has paid off, she's worried she won't live up to her father's legacy. When Leo and Aria cross paths on a fateful summer day, they're thrown into the chaos of an unforgettable summer adventure -- filled with charming and mysterious people, astounding views, and alpine air. But as the summer continues on and the heat is amped up, undeniable chemistry begins to brew between the two of them. But what happens when summer ends and they have to go their separate ways?
