출판사 설명
Jace and Andrea. Andrea and Jace. From the moment of their fate-filled first meeting in Central Park they've known one true thing—they're meant to be.
Life doesn't have many certainties but for Andrea and Jace forever is one of them.
Andrea Leighton-Hughes—shockingly wealthy Upper East Sider, a chess-piece in her family's games since before she was born—knows what it's like to hide behind a mask. Her world is one of lies, manipulation, and reputation. Jace is the first and only person to see who she truly is.
Jace Morgan is no stranger to tragedy and every day is a struggle to get by. A musical prodigy from the Bronx, Jace and his brothers will do whatever it takes to climb to the top of the music charts. Andrea is the first and only person who has helped him play from the heart.
No one understands their connection. No one understands their love.
As Jace and Andrea struggle to stay together and prove that love defeats all obstacles, life sets out to prove them wrong.
What happens when two people promise forever, but life tears them apart?
What happens in the time they aren't together—in the space between?
A love that lasts decades and a friendship that never dies. Sarah Ready's The Space Between is a novel full of passion, betrayal, longing, and redemption—where love and lyrics hold the key to everything.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Economic differences may derail a once-in-a-lifetime love in this sweeping and soapy contemporary from Ready (Once upon an Island). After Andrea Leighton-Hughes rescues Jace Morgan from bullies, the two 17-year-olds bond over their love of music and Coney Island. Their budding romance survives Jace's discovery that Andrea is the daughter of an elite Manhattan businessman, while he and his orphaned brothers, all musicians, scrape by in the Bronx. Andrea renounces her family wealth to go on the road with Jace and his bros when their band is on tour. For a time, all is bliss, but Jace's oldest brother, Dean, worries that Jace—who can't sing unless Andrea is watching—is using her as a crutch. To break up the couple, he convinces Andrea that Jace is unfaithful. Eight years later, Andrea, now a workaholic businesswoman, reunites with Reid Shilling, the man her family always wanted her to marry. Andrea never thought she'd agree, but now Reid is dying and he wants Andrea to be the mother to his infant daughter after he's gone. On the eve of their marriage, however, Andrea runs into Jace, and the encounter leaves Jace determined to stop the wedding. It's a dramatic (sometimes melodramatic) emotional roller-coaster, but in the end true love prevails. For hopeless romantics, this one's got the goods.

All the feels
I couldn’t put this book down. This was my first Sarah Ready book and I am so glad I found her! Jace and Andi have such an amazing story!
A passionate love story which spans decades
The Space Between by Sarah Ready is a romance novel about Andrea and Jace. Jace is a poor, orphaned young man from a musical family with lots of love. Andrea is the daughter of a mega-wealthy businessman and an heiress and was raised without love. The two met in Central Park and felt an instant connection that grew quickly to love. Due to circumstances they did not control, Andrea and Jace’s lives intersected and diverged two times before they experienced the happily ever after they are supposed to have, and they were the space between.
This contemporary romance novel is full of a passionate love that spans decades. I listened to this book as an audiobook and the narrators were perfect. This novel has so many emotional ups and downs and long passages that made me cry. I loved both the main characters, but Jace especially. His steadfast determination to hold onto love no matter what happened is inspirational as is Andrea’s willingness to sacrifice her own happiness in order to do what was right. This is my second book by this author and I believe I have become a life long fan. Her novels are poignant contemporary stories that draw the reader in. I definitely recommend this audiobook to lovers of contemporary romance similar to work by Josie Silver. I am voluntarily submitting this honest review after listening to an advanced complementary copy of this audiobook thanks to Netgalley, W. W. Crown, and the Independent Book Publishers Association.
Favorite book status
I first read this book a couple months ago, and knew before I began that this story would rock my world. It did. After I read it the first time, I knew it was definitely one of my top two favorites. After reading the bonus epilogue today (and still remembering every stunning part of this story), this book is truly the most amazing story I have read in my life. I hope anyone who comes across this story will read it - dual POV, three parts, and a bonus epilogue from a third character from the book. Bravo, Sarah Ready!
