Letting Go of Gravity by Meg Leder

4.0

I absolutely adored Meg’s book The Museum of Heartbreak, so I was so dang excited for her next book. This one is about twins who have grown apart since the brother, Charlie, was diagnosed with leukaemia, and the sister, Parker, internalizes the effect it’s had on the family. But Charlie’s in remission and making up for lost time, going back to his reckless ways, while Parker is about to start a prestigious medical internship before going to Harvard. Charlie and Parker (yes they’re named after the saxophonist) don’t know how to get along anymore, and they’re both having melt downs about their lives, but aren’t helping each other. I loved reading about their relationship and how important it was for them to figure stuff out on their own and together. I was invested in them as characters and wanted them to have all the good things. I really look forward to whatever comes from Meg next!
