At seventeen, Jacklin Bates is all grown up. She’s dropped out of school. She’s living with her runaway sister, Trudy, and she’s in secret, obsessive love with Luke, who doesn’t love her back. She’s stuck in Mobius—a dying town with the macabre suicide forest its only attraction—stuck working in the roadhouse and babysitting her boss’s demented father.

A stranger sets up camp in the forest and the boy next door returns; Jack’s father moves into the shed and her mother steps up her campaign to punish Jack for leaving, too. Trudy’s brilliant façade is cracking and Jack’s only friend, Astrid, has done something unforgivable.

Jack is losing everything, including her mind. As she struggles to hold onto the life she thought she wanted, Jack learns that growing up is complicated—and love might be the biggest mystery of all.

Reviews for Inbetween Days

'Wakefield has captured small-town life perfectly. There is the stifling sense of everyone knowing everyone, but also the boredom that comes from being a teenager with nowhere to go. In these claustrophobic conditions, she explores love, death and identity.' Books + Publishing 'A gritty, heartfelt read for teens and adult readers alike.' Readings 'Inbetween Days is Australian YA gothic. It's at times bleak and tender, with touches of romance threaded with heartache, all playing out in a town that's dead and dying. As anyone who has read a Vikki Wakefield novel knows, it's near impossible to completely summarise her stories; save to say it's another 'must-read' from one of Australia's best young adult authors writing today.' Alpha Reader 'Intense and engaging...Highly recommended.' Reading Time
