Inbetween Days

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Jacklin Bates has life figured out—dropped out of school, moved in with her runaway sister, and in love with an older boy. But why does she have a sinking feeling that she still needs her mum?

Perhaps it's because she's stuck in Mobius—a dying town with the macabre suicide forest as its only attraction—stuck working in the roadhouse and babysitting her boss's demented father.

Inbetween Days explores Jacklin's struggle with independence, family ties, and the haunting pull of her past. It is a poignant tale set against the backdrop of a town where life seems to be at a standstill.
