Description
I was supposed to go to a support group the night I met him. I did, just not the right one. Why? Because I didn't want to talk about what happened. I didn't want to say my name is Laken and when I was sixteen I ran away. Away from a mother I looked like but never wanted to replicate. Away from the danger she brought into our home. Now I'm in college, living with my ex's grandma as a caregiver, feeling a little lost, and experiencing a lot of doubts... some about him. He will give me hope, affect me like a rock star, make promises he won't keep, and become one of my closest friends. With him I'm going to make mistakes, reveal my secrets, learn some lessons, and let it all go. Because it isn't what happened to me, it is What Happened in Between.

REVIEWERS ARE SAYING:
5 stars "It's not an easy journey, and the author has provided Laken with a wonderful array of friends, both male and female. All of these characters are very real to us; they are flawed, but sometimes capable of remarkable acts of kindness and love. All of them make bad choices at times, including Laken. In other words, Scar has written a true portrait of life, the life as experienced by young men and women of college age, who are struggling to come to terms with becoming adults."
5 stars "Wow I was completely blown away by this storyline. First of all I enjoyed that it took place over several years and you were able to see the change in the characters. Though Laken is the main character, you really can't get to to know her without the help of others such as Mandy, Devon, Marie, Alex, Megan and Rick. Each of these characters was developed so great that as a reader you really got to see them as your friends as well. Scar does an amazing job of describing situations so well, without giving you an exact point or straight forward place. And though the ending was a certain way, she is able to give you enough that each reader can have a slightly different ending of their own. I love that feeling when you finish a book and that the story of the character doesn't end there; just like when you say bye to a friend smiling and imagining the possibilities they might encounter next."
