this is a review for The Space Between us by Liza (my bestie bitch)

wile the beginning felt a little jarring and rushed at times, i still felt myself cheering for them to resolve things and find each other again. it wasn’t in the way i expected - but it was v hot 🥵 the emotional logic behind the characters’ choices always felt believable. i never struggled to understand why they made the decisions they did - even when those decisions hurt

i wanted more time with things, tho. with them in the beginning, and with them at the end. hell. maybe even more time with Alyssa - i liked her. & a little more room before the ending. i was especially attached to Damien and found his connection with Mari particularly compelling. the ending left me hopeful for their future, though I would have preferred slightly more certainty and closure bc i’m just that kinda person. it wasn’t a bad choice by any means. i can appreciate and respect the “open to interpretation” style of resolution. overall, it was an emotional ride bc several elements of the book resonated very closely with my own personal life.

and i’m so proud of liza for creating this story, writing it so beautifully well and for sharing it with me. 🤍 i’m so lucky to have you as a friend & i look forward to reading more of your stories & getting your signature tatted on my asscheek when you become famous. i’ll be the snobby bestie who said i knew you first 🤪🥰
