The Gravity of Us by Phil Stamper
3.0

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews for this book and so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect when going into it. But having finished it I can confidently say I enjoyed reading it. My expectations for YA fiction aren't exactly sky-high, but The Gravity of Us is a really sweet and fun story that I'm glad I read. I don't know anything about space travel (that's more of my dad's expertise) but Stamper was able to keep my interest throughout the more science-heavy scenes of the novel. I'm not a huge fan of how young adults write teenagers and their interactions with social media/pop culture, and while Stamper doesn't do this flawlessly, it is much more palatable for me than other books I've read recently.
