The Space Between Us

Maxine Ortega just graduated from college, ready to close one chapter of her life and embrace a new beginning with her three best friends. Everything feels perfect, until she remembers that Sebastian 'Seb' Martinez, her best friend's older brother and her first love, will be at her graduation celebration.

Seb, the boy she crushed on at fifteen, the man who unknowingly broke her heart at eighteen, and the person she tried so hard to forget. Back then, he barely noticed her beyond being his sister's quiet, tag-along friend. He was everything-handsome, smart, and kind, but to Max, he was also untouchable, especially when he introduced her to his girlfriend years ago.

Now 20, Max is still shy and awkward around Seb, but she tries so hard to overcome it and appear more confident whenever he's near. But she can't help wondering: does she stand a chance? Or will Seb always see her as his sister's best friend?

Through Max's diary, we uncover her hidden feelings, cherished memories, and unspoken struggles as old emotions resurface. This is a story of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery, told through the eyes of a girl who dared to dream of the impossible.

Get ready to laugh, cry, and fall in love as Maxine's story unfolds, one diary entry at a time.
