Something Like Gravity by Amber Smith

4.0

3.5 stars. This was not a light romantic read, but rather a realistic YA novel about a relationship between a grieving girl and a trans boy who are both dealing with family issues. While Chris and Maia have great chemistry, I like the fact that their relationship is not just love at first sight and happily ever after and all the other typical romantic notions of "love" but that it's complex and human and more about navigating ups and downs rather than a definitive yes or no. Isn't that what relationships are really like? They're evolving and complicated and I liked how the author really showed the tensions that happen in REAL relationships. I'm also reading this for Pride month which makes me so happy because finding Pride reads for YA is something I definitely didn't grow up with! <3

Thank you to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster for the ARC.
