If I could, I would rate 1000 stars, this is Ms. Cherry's masterpiece! I've read the whole series and the is by far the best book. Don't get me wrong the other ones are good, really good, but this one was the best of the best I just finished it and I already feel like starting it again. This is a must read, definitely something I will read again and will fall in love with again...

Skimmed to DNF @ 36% - terrible purple prose and an unlikable hero

In the pursuit to clear my Kindle and by random pick, The Gravity of Us became my first read of 2024. I read the second book of this series, The Fire Between High & Lo, several years ago as part of an online buddy read and really enjoyed it.
Oh, Graham Cracker...
Despite your rude and insensitive ways, my heart ached for you. But leave it to Lucy and her "hippie weirdo" ways to spark a light in your darkness. Two people could not have been more opposite while also providing just what the other needed.
In this grumpy meets sunshine tale, the romance could not have burned slower and the spice was minimal, yet the pull between these two was undeniable.
I shed some tears with this one and usually that would garner a five-star rating from me, but I was a bit put off by the recurring "Air above me, earth below me, fire within me, water surround me, spirit becomes me." mantra. While definitely fitting to Lucy's character and the overall theme of the series (Elements), it just felt a little out of place in a book with no magical realism. Or, I don't know, maybe some background as to how and why it was such an important mantra to Lucy would have helped it feel organic to the storyline.
Overall, this was a great book and I do plan to go back and read books 1 and 3 in this series of standalones.

A beautifully crafted, poignant story with an opposites-attract kind of feel. The protagonists, Lucy and Graham, take you on a journey, and their story is fraught with difficulty and full of angst. Which makes their ending all the sweeter, as it’s earned through blood, sweat, and tears.

3.5 Stars ⭐️ Beautifully written story ❤️ this was my first book by this author and it didn’t disappoint. Heartbreaking love stories aren’t my go-to, but every once in awhile they are good for the soul. This was perfect for that.

2.5/5
WRITING: Easy enough to understand and not flowery w/c is much appreciated.
PLOT & EXECUTION: Depressing and very soapy. Also very problematic. It was at times cheesy and predictable.
CHARACTERS: Forgettable
FAVE EXCERPT:
“But, you are my heart, Mari, and I know I’m yours. So, when they hurt you, find me. Find me and I’ll put your heart back together, and then maybe you can help me fix the cracks in my own.”
