I discovered Meg Grehan when I read her middle-grade novel in verse, The Deepest Breath. I liked it so much, that I wanted to read more of her work. The Space Between is equally well-written. I love how Meg uses single word lines to emphasize points or feelings (as in the "Family" chapter that I copied into Common Knowledge). Beth is slowly pulled from her depression by Mouse, a happy canine and his compassionate companion, Alice. Over the course of a year, we sympathize with Beth's suffering and rejoice at her opening.

A beautiful story about mental health, love and the power of just one person believing in you. An absolutely beautiful, deceptively simple book, that I didn't expect to finish in one seating. Couldn't put it down. ( )
