Something Like Gravity by Amber Smith
4.0
*I did read an ARC copy sent to me by Simon & Schuster but this does not affect my opinion.*
6/25/19 listen when i tell you i have not cried this hard at a book in YEARS. That being said, this book covers a lot. Specifically loss, assault, and the trans experience. And in my opinion it’s all done really well. I especially connected with Maia’s story and the way she feels about her sister’s death. Just the way Amber Smith wrote about how it feels when you lose someone you love was just so phenomenal and really hit me in my heart.
I’m just gonna wrap this up by saying, be prepared for the feels, and know that there is an assault in this book against a trans boy. And a few occasions of misgendering, all of which are either corrected and/or clearly from a bully.
6/6/19 I have a lot of feelings to sort through before i rate this.
