The Space Life Leaves Behind

By Ugonna Ugookeogu

Nora never believed in love-especially not when time was already running out.

After a violent encounter shatters her sense of safety, Nora is forced to share a home with Dice, the boy she once believed was a monster. He's quiet. Careful. Nothing like the person she feared. And slowly, painfully, he becomes the one who helps her breathe again.

But Dice isn't the only one who matters.

There's Max-the boy who once slipped past her walls and left fingerprints on her heart. Caught between who she was and who she's becoming, Nora finds herself torn between two different kinds of love: one rooted in memory, the other in survival.

All the while, Nora is keeping a secret.

She doesn't say it out loud. She writes it instead-inside a diary meant to be forgotten. A place where the truth lives without interruption. Where love, loss, anger, and fear exist exactly as they are.

This is not a love triangle. This is not a rescue story.

It's the story of a girl learning how to tell the truth before time takes the choice away.

For readers who loved The Fault in Our Stars and All the Bright Places, this is a deeply emotional YA novel about love, mortality, and the words we leave behind.
