Something Like Gravity by Amber Smith
4.0
I received a digital ARC of this title from Edelweiss for an honest review.
Chris is spending the summer with his aunt in North Carolina after being homeschooled for the past year after a terrible assault. Maia lives next door to Chris's aunt and is trying to recover from her sister suddenly dying. Their first meeting is when Chris almost runs over Maia, so a friendship doesn't look promising, but they're going to be neighbors for the summer, so Chris tries to make it up to her.
Something like Gravity is a sweet YA book about moving forward after trauma. It's recommended for fans of Love, Simon and Eleanor & Park.
Honestly, I did enjoy this book a lot and would definitely recommend it. But I didn't get what the big deal was about Maia's "secret." I didn't get why it was SO hard to tell Chris and then I didn't get why Chris was SO upset that she didn't. It felt like it wasn't something that rated that degree of anger.
