Something Like Gravity

From the moment the meet Maia and Chris click. Both having been through hardships for different reasons they have let themselves becoming fairly isolated socially. The moment they meet is also interesting as Chris almost runs Maia over with his car. Despite the awkward beginning, however, they start to build a tentative friendship. At first, they keep their biggest secrets to themselves. Maybe not wanting to scare the other one off or out of fear of being judged but as time goes on they grow closer.

This novel was definitely the sweet romance that it was advertised to be with a bit of a twist due to the fact that Chris is transgender. I think the subject matter was handled well by the author and did not take away from the book in any way. I think that stories like this one need to be told more often because for every story out in the world there are people who can identify with it. It’s important that folks from all walks of life are represented in the media in a kind and loving way. It is what makes us all different that makes us beautiful.
