In the Orbit of You is a sweet YA novel with two childhood friends reuniting after 15 years apart. They are now in a Texas High School and now need to figure out how to navigate their history of shared promises, and trying to figure out who they are now and where they want to go next. I appreciated that they placed emphasis on deciding who they are as individuals, rather than mold themselves straight into a relationship. The writing is beautiful and flowed well, it didn't feel like a high school level novel, and gave me The Notebook vibes. TW: past childhood abuse (off page), cheating (The Notebook-level)
