Twenty-one-year-old college senior Will Carlisle feels increasingly broken. For years everything he touches crumbles. Worst of all, he can't make the things work that he cares most about: Relationships with girls, with his best friend, his college track and field career. Is it fallout, from losing... her? Or is he just crazy? Unstable? Defective? He hopes life will improve when he begins dating Ann, a bright, spontaneous girl who sees the best in him. He wants to take things further with her, but how? At the end of a date with Ann, he yearns to tell her what she means to him and take that next dangerous step into a deeper relationship, but anxiety and fear overcome him and he flees her apartment. What happens next may hold the key to end his losing streak, if he will let it. Readers who enjoy character studies, coming of age, young adult fiction or fiction set in the late 20th century will find The Space Between a compelling read.
