Gravity Is the Thing

This was a really unique book, unlike any others I've ever read before.

It was both humorous and heartbreaking at the same time, with some wonderful characters namely Abigail, her son, Oscar and Wilbur.

The heartbreaking was Abigail's struggle in dealing firstly with the disappearance of her brother, Robert and later, ending up as a single mother after her husband leaves her. She blames herself for both, that is until she is invited to a retreat organised by the people behind The Guidebook.

Attending the weekly meetings leads her to a path of self discovery and slowly she learns to come to term with her grief and heartbreak. I really liked her character because despite her struggles, she was still managing to bring up her son and run a successful business.

I loved Wilbur too. He was such a sweet, kind hearted man! My favourite though was little 4 year old Oscar. He was hilarious and gave me so many laugh out loud moments, with his 4 years old logic and questions.

Thank you to PH and Jaclyn Moriarty for the chance to read this book.
