The Space Between Goodbye & Again

(PRE-ORDER. THIS BOOK SHIPS OUT JULY 30, 2026)

Yu’me had never let anyone all the way in.

She had loved carefully, from behind glass, until a quiet man named Idris slid into the back of her Uber one gold afternoon and refused to be afraid of her. He was calm where she was storm. He stayed where others had run. He taught her a language with no words in it, just the press of a hand, and against everything she knew, she let him all the way in.

Then everything broke.

What love builds, a single night can undo. The life they made comes apart, and the man who knew her becomes a stranger she cannot place. What rises from the wreckage is the oldest, hardest question two people can ask each other. Why does the thing that holds you feel so much like the thing that hurts you. They reach and they wound. They leave and they come back. They cannot do this and they cannot stop. Caught between an old love that never let go and a new one that costs her everything, Yume must decide whether a love this heavy is a home or a fire.

Told in the unmistakable voice of New York Times bestselling author JaQuavis Coleman, The Space Between Goodbye and Again is a love story about devotion and damage, memory and the mind, and the long road back to a heart that forgot the way.
