Serena Velasco and her best (and only) friend, Melody Grimshaw, are dying to get out of Colchis. Until now theyve both been coasting, keeping a safe distance from the bleakness of home and the banality of high school. To make things more interesting Serena fixates on communism, eager to get a rise out of their conservative small town. Her Western Civ teacher catches on and challenges her with an independent study of class and upward mobilitywhat creates the spaces between us. Meanwhile, Grimshaw takes on a mission of her own: to make it onto the cheerleading squad, find a job, and escape the weight of her familys hopeless reputation.But sometimes the biggest obstacles are the ones you dont see coming; Grimshaws quest for success becomes a fight for survival, and Serenas independent study gets a little too real.
