The In Between, by Marc Klein
The In Between is a supernatural romance in the vein of the movie Ghost. It is told in a dual narrative timeline, and is told through the POV of Tessa Jacobs, a teenage girl with a talent for photography but who, thanks to a traumatic childhood, has little belief in herself. When she meets Skylar one morning at the local indie movie theater, her life changes, but not as much as when Skylar dies in a car crash, and his spirit begins reaching out to her from the other side -- the in between…
After bouncing around in foster homes for most of her childhood, seventeen-year-old Tessa Jacobs doesn't believe she deserves love -- not from her adoptive parents, and certainly not from anyone at school.
But everything changes when she has a chance encounter at the local movie theater with Skylar, a senior from a neighboring town who's a true romantic. Their budding relationship quickly leads to the kind of passionate love you only see in the movies. And Tessa starts to believe she might be deserving of a happy ending after all.
When tragedy strikes, Tessa wakes up alone in the hospital with no memory of how she got there. And Skylar has passed away. As Tessa begins her relentless search for answers, Skylar's spirit reaches out to her from the other side. Desperate to see him one last time, Tessa must unravel the pieces of their relationship -- and the truth might even lead her into the afterlife itself.
