Something Like Gravity by Amber Smith
5.0
I turn the last page of this book and let out a sigh. A heavy fog of sadness settles in over my heart, as I have finished this book. I will never be able to experience reading it for the first time again.
Wow. I LOVED this book. I hope Chris and Maia continue their relationship. They both had so much trauma (so check TWs of course). This book made me feel so many things. It touched me in deep parts of my soul, carving out a resting place for Chris and Maia to stay. I will carry their story in me for a long time.
I myself am non-binary, so I really related to Chris’s story and enjoyed seeing topics such as dysphoria (specifically chest dysphoria), struggle with family acceptance, and just gender identity in general. I admire how a cisgender author wrote such accurate descriptions of these feelings. I at least related to them, but everyone’s experiences are different. I loved Chris’s story because I know how he feels.
I loved Maia’s story because of how the author writes about greed and processing death as an adolescent. Obviously you aren’t going to be making the right decisions, but it’s because of how trauma affected you.
I will say it again: these characters are now a part of me.
