The Gravity of Us by Brittainy C. Cherry
3.0
reread 1/26/20: same feelings as the first time!
the good
The best way to describe this book would be like a really sugary glass of tea. Warm & comforting, but also too sweet and not filling. I will say I was honestly amazed at how much i HATED Graham at the start of this, and how quickly the author was able to switch my opinion of him. He is a sweet lil grizzly bear who needs a hug. And I also really liked how Lucy was free spirited yet didn't let people walk all over her. They really were a great match, and I love their shared love of.
the bad
We get flashbacks throughout the story from Graham's childhood but we never see him opening up to Lucy about it or really any sort of communication between them on their pasts. And I don't think this would have bothered me so much if this was the case in the rest of Cherry's books, but it just isn't. She tends to do a pretty good job at keeping her books short and incorporating enough reconciliation of trauma to make her resolutions believable. Additionally, the antagonist of the story is kind of unbelievably horrible but only causes problems for all of 2 seconds. Overall, I enjoyed this book but it probably won't stick with me.
