When Danni wakes up after a life-altering accident, the world she knew feels both achingly familiar and heartbreakingly changed. Memories come back in pieces-some tender, some sharp- and two boys who once anchored her life now stand at the centre of the storm: Rixon, the boy who left her without a goodbye, and Cole, the boy who stayed quiet in the background, loving her all along As Danni navigates broken friendships, hidden feelings, and the fragile threads of forgiveness, she begins to understand that healing isn’t about going back—it’s about moving forward, even when the path is uncertain. A poignant story of love, loss, resilience, and self-discovery, The Space Between Heartbeats reminds us that not every love lasts forever... but every love leaves something behind. And sometimes, what's left is exactly what we needed to become who we were always meant to

When eighteen-year-old Ryden returns to the town he left twelve years ago, he expects awkward dinners with his distant father and a summer of silent obligation. What he doesn’t expect is to find the same group of kids he once ran barefoot with — older now, more complicated, and still holding pieces of him he didn’t know were missing. As Ryden slowly reconnects with JJ, his childhood best friend, and Easton, the girl with a laugh he’s somehow never forgotten, old memories begin to resurface — along with the ache of everything he left behind. But rebuilding trust isn’t easy. Not when you’re the ghost in someone else’s story. Told in a rotating cast of deeply personal points of view, Almost Familiar is a story about chosen family, the softness in shared silence, and what it means to be remembered — even when you forgot yourself. This novel is a quiet but powerful reminder that sometimes healing doesn’t mean going back — it means staying.
