Something Like Gravity by Amber Smith

5.0

I thought at first that this would just be another generic YA romance (with the small exception that one of the characters is trans), but it was anything but generic. It doesn't just handle the first awkward, teenage love, it handles topics like: family, loss, grief, identity, loneliness, gender stereotypes, consent, trauma.... It also does all this without being shallow and while being respectful towards everyone.
It is both heartwarming and heartbreaking, and then it's also realistic in the best way. I was going to give it 4 stars, but the way the ending was handled, I had to bump it up to 5. An amazing read; Chris and Maia will surely stay with you after you put it down
