Told through many points of view, Center of Gravity is an interesting look into what could seemingly be the perfect new American family, but once inside their home the perfection wears off. Ava has been married to Mitchell for a few years and has recently officially adopted his son from a previous relationship and they also now have an infant son who is around the age of one. After a great courtship and early marriage, things start to change.
This book was definitely hard to read at times and I had to put it down a few moments, but there was something that really set this book apart for me. As I mentioned above, the book is told through a few points of view and the two that are in this book that really matter are the adopted son who is eight years old and Mitchell himself. From the beginning the reader is able to get into his mind as he wreaks havoc on his wife and kids, but keeps a face at his job. Although again hard to read at times, I was intrigued to read the parts that came from his point of view just to see "his side" of things.
