Something like Gravity By Amber Smith – MTMC Tour

Today I’m excited to participate in the bookstagram & creative blog tour for SOMETHING LIKE GRAVITY by Amber Smith. This is an LGBTQ+ YA Contemporary novel perfect for fans of Love, Simon out June 18th, 2019 from Simon & Schuster / McElderry Books!

Synopsis

For fans of Love, Simon and Eleanor and Park, a romantic and sweet novel about a transgender boy who falls in love for the first time—and how first love changes us all—from New York Times bestselling author Amber Smith.

Chris and Maia aren’t off to a great start.

A near-fatal car accident first brings them together, and their next encounters don’t fare much better. Chris’s good intentions backfire. Maia’s temper gets the best of her.

But they’re neighbors, at least for the summer, and despite their best efforts, they just can’t seem to stay away from each other.

The path forward isn’t easy. Chris has come out as transgender, but he’s still processing a frightening assault he survived the year before. Maia is grieving the loss of her older sister and trying to find her place in the world without her. 

Falling in love was the last thing on either of their minds.

But would it be so bad if it happened anyway?

I’m close to finishing this book, and this book is beautifully written. The characters are well developed, and the love story is one of a kind. This story will make you laugh and cry. You cannot NOT feel while reading. At times heartwarming, at times heartwrenching, you’ll be exposed to first love, grief, conflicts, and finding our one true self.

This book is making me think in ways I wouldn’t have normally done. I made me wonder and question our society. If you loved Simon versus The Homo Sapiens Agenda, give this book a try. You’ll love it!
