Something Like Gravity by Amber Smith

2.5

cute, but incredibly slow paced and kind of cliche. i really wanted to like this book but it just didn’t click for me. the characters didn’t seem fully realized enough and the story just fell a bit flat for me. i will laud the setting of the novel, that exposition and scene-setting was quite exemplary in this book. i just wish it was a bit more developed. plus, i wasn’t super fond of the way the transgender narrative was constructed. it felt like a very reduced, palatable-for-cis-people take and didn’t resonate with me the way i feel that truly well-rounded trans stories do.
