Letting Go of Gravity by Meg Leder

3.0

I can’t do it. Ever since my mom’s hospital stay and surgery I know I can’t read books with sick parents. Turns out sick siblings are a no go too even though I’m an only child. Parker’s fear and grief in the flashbacks is so visceral and so painful that it brought back every bad night I had alone in the apartment while my mom was sick. Even the descriptions of Parker’s panic attacks were too much making me jittery. I’m shaky just writing this. It’s too real. This is going to be such a powerful book for people who need a window into experiences like this. But for me it was more of a mirror and I’m not ready to see that reflection right now.
