The Gravity of Us

What I love about this book:
- people being flawed and being allowed to be flawed
- space and gays
- not too forced love story without the drama of labeling
- loveable characters
- portrayal of mental illnesses as illnesses and not as character flaws or weaknesses


What I didn‘t love:
- DUDE, CALL DEB BACK!!
- people my age being called old
- my youth becoming something retro and hipster for the youth of today
- kind of a ‚been there, done that‘ feeling


In the end it is, what it wants to be - a contemporary YA story with queer characters and space.
And I like it.
Not every book has to be innovative.
Nevertheless it /is/ nice to have a gay couple just being themselves and not „oh-no-i-am-gay“ or „they-won‘t-accept-me-for-who-i-am“ and also to not have yet another comig out story (even though they are important and I live them every once in a while).
