The Space Between Us (novel) is not meant to be read as a social commentary about race or class, although it certainly has some powerful messages along those lines. Rather, it is an elegant novel of the heart and spirit whose characters are testament to the essential human drive – to find joy, peace and love where we can." Andriani compared "The Space Between Us" to Khaled Hosseini's "The Kite Runner", a 2003 novel set mainly in Afghanistan which deals with characters of various social classes. "The Economist" attributed the novel's success in not becoming "emotional soup" to the variety of issues examined. Budz describes
