Format: Hardcover
Goodreads Summary:
From the author of
Virtuosity, a novel about two sisters and the secrets they tell, the
secrets they keep, and the secret that tears them apart.
Amelia is used to being upstaged by her charismatic younger sister, Charly. She doesn’t mind, mostly, that it always falls to her to cover for Charly’s crazy, impulsive antics. But one night, Charly's thoughtlessness goes way too far, and she lands them both in serious trouble.
Amelia's not sure she can forgive Charly this time, and not sure she wants to…but the situation is even worse than either of them realizes. Amelia has no choice but to give up everything--her friends, her future, her dream--in order to cover for Charly’s huge mistake.
Amelia doesn't understand how her sister could have done this to them both. What she doesn't know is that Charly is hiding a terrible secret—one with the potential to change everything.

Reasons I want to read & own this book:
1. The cover. I just love the pink. I do. And I think both cover models are rocking really nice hairstyles (I'm a girl, of course I noticed, lol). Though, they do look highly annoyed by each other which really goes well with the title of this book, I think --> The Space Between Us. There is definitely a space between them alright. They don't look like happy campers :O
2. The sibling drama. Loves it. I haven't read too many Contemporary YA books about sisters and these seem to have a lot of secrecy between them as the title references to that a bit. So, I definitely want to know what's going on.
What do you guys think? :)
