About this listen
Michelle Andrews and Zara McDonald, creators of the award-winning pop culture podcast Shameless, are two of the many twentysomething women trying to make sense of it all. They definitely don't have all the answers but they know that mapping out our place in the world is a little bit easier when we do it together.
Brimming with wit and unflinching honesty, here are their stories and personal puzzles about life as twentysomethings: from heartbreak and mental health challenges to overcoming career setbacks and letting go of fear. (Not forgetting the deeper meaning behind the state of their fridges and why it's so damn good to ghost out of a friend's party.)
Join Zara and Michelle as they navigate their journeys between the women they are now and who they want to be. You just might find tiny pieces of yourself in the space between the first page and the last.©2020 Zara McDonald and Michelle Andrews (P)2020 Penguin Random House Australia
Editorial reviews
Horrified by the idea of going out twice in one week but still won’t book your own doctor’s appointment? Then The Space Between, a relatable guide to life in your 20s, is your next must-listen.
Already claiming a cult-favourite podcast (Shameless) among their achievements, Melbournites Zara McDonald and Michelle Andrews are the perfect guides to the weird limbo between childhood and adulthood. As you listen, they’ll cover everything from light-hearted anecdotes (like forgetting to take your car to the mechanic) to hard-hitting themes like sexism, rejection and toxic friendships. Bringing into the audiobook the warm, funny personalities that made their podcast such a success, McDonald and Andrews are like the older sisters you wish you had and they won't be shy to share some uncomfortable truths with you.
Spanning four main themes—Love, Ambition, Mind & Body and Voice—each section is split into short and relatable stories, in the format of email dialogues, checklists and more, making it the perfect listen to dive in and out of wherever you may be.
Offering comfort, advice and a few laughs along the way, this audiobook is the perfect companion to take with you into fully fledged adulthood.

Loved this
Looked forward to reading this everyday. Felt so relatable and life affirming as a uni student to hear from two amazing women also in their 20s sharing their essays. Will be recommending to friends. Thank you Michelle and Zara!

Own the book but I read too slow hahaha
I pre-ordered the book (#1107 haha) but I read far too slowly and my friends already finished and we NEEDED to talk about it. So I also bought the audiobook and it’s been AMAZING!!! It just feels like a long episode of the podcast. ITS GREAT!!!

Where the fuck have you been?
As a 28 year old, I desperately could have used this book as I entered my 20’s. I could identify with every single thing you said, and I am so glad that I am not alone.
This book has made me feel seen, in both an uncomfortable way, and a crazy supportive way. You girls are magic, and I’m so glad that this is in the world for every young girl who has no idea what the fuck she is doing.
Please introduce this as a part of year 12 PE syllabus immediately, because I learnt more from this about life than I ever learnt in that.

Fabulous read!
One of the best books I’ve read in a long time. It shares experiences, advice, and the realities of your 20s so well and does so in such a self aware and raw way. Loved every moment of it. I laughed, I cried, but more importantly I related. I felt seen and heard and I am so grateful for this experience.

Well done!!
Such an amazing book. The writing was beautiful and encapsulated the worries, woes and celebrations of your 20s so well! As a 23 year old I related to so many parts. Lovely vulnerability as well, it was tough to read but necessary
