The Space Between

Andrew Ferrera thought he could balance the weight of two worlds: the privileged, suffocating life he shares with his grandmother and half-sister, and the chaotic, unpolished friendships he's built on the south side of town. But navigating high school relationships and family expectations proves harder than he imagined.

Andrew's world spirals when a rumor threatens to ruin his ex-girlfriend Alex's reputation. Torn between his lingering feelings for her and his own self-preservation, Andrew finds himself at odds with Ginny Montreal, a sharp-tongued, complex girl whose actions often speak louder than her words. Meanwhile, his loyalty to his friends, including the unpredictable Steve and heartbroken Gigo, pulls him deeper into conflicts that challenge his sense of identity.

As secrets unravel and tensions mount, Andrew must confront the messy truths about love, loyalty, and the pain of growing up. He begins to question not just the relationships around him but also the choices that define who he is and who he wants to become.

The Space Between is a raw and emotional coming-of-age story that explores the fragile bonds between family, friends, and self-proving that sometimes the hardest journey is the one to understand yourself.
