The Gravity of Us by Brittainy C. Cherry

Release Date: April 13th, 2017 Genre: Contemporary Romance

Cover Designer: Quirkybird Designs

Graham Russell and I weren’t made for one another.

I was driven by emotion; he was apathetic. I dreamed while he lived in nightmares. I cried when he had no tears to shed.

Despite his frozen heart and my readiness to run, we sometimes shared seconds. Seconds when our eyes locked and we saw each other’s secrets. Seconds when his lips tasted my fears, and I breathed in his pains. Seconds when we both imagined what it would be like to love one another.

Those seconds left us floating, but when reality knocked us sideways, gravity forced us to descend.

Graham Russell wasn’t a man who knew how to love, and I wasn’t a woman who knew how to either. Yet if I had the chance to fall again, I’d fall with him forever.

Even if we were destined to crash against solid ground.

ALL THE STARS Review by Ashley:

Brittainy C. Cherry has done it again. Made my heart a puddle of happy mush. My heart is overflowing with joy after reading The Gravity of Us. This book, this incredible tale gets ALL THE STARS! There is no way that my words can do this book justice but I'm going to give it a whirl because there are somethings that just have to be said. This book did things to me. Profound things. It moved me. To tears (not all of them sad). More than once.

A writer who can't find the words. Whose story is lacking heart. A Hippie who wears her heart on her sleeve. Who loves loudly. It shouldn't work. In no way does it make sense but somehow it just does. Simply Put, Graham and Lucy's story,was beautiful. Heartbreaking. There was so much grief but also so much joy. It was the quiet moments between them. The words that weren't said. The stories told with their eyes and by their actions that spoke the loudest.

I am in major book hangover mode from reading The Gravity of Us. Like haven't been able to think of anything but this book for days. Thank you Brittainy C. Cherry. For your words (I can't even tell you how many passages I hi-lighted). For the giving me pain and heart and healing. For giving me characters who were so beautifully flawed and wonderfully human. Lucy's and Graham's story truly captivated me. It was impossible to put down and will be even harder to forget.

Excerpt:

Lucy

We didn’t know how to act with one another after our first kiss. Our situation wasn’t the norm when it came to building a relationship. We did everything backward. I fell in love with a boy before our first kiss, and he fell for a girl who he wasn’t allowed to have. Our connection, our heartbeats, matched one another in our fairytale world, but in reality, society deemed us as an awful accident.

Maybe we were an accident—a mistake.

Maybe we were never supposed to cross each other’s paths.

Maybe he was only meant to be a lesson in life and not a permanent mark.

But still, the way he kissed me…

Our kiss was as if heaven and hell collided together, and each choice was right and wrong at the same exact time. We kissed as if we were making a mistake and the best decision all at once. His lips made me float higher, yet somehow descend. His breaths somehow made my heart beat faster as it came to a complete halt.

Our love was everything good and bad wrapped in one kiss.

A part of me knew I should’ve regretted it, but the way his lips warmed up the cold shadows of my soul…the way he left his mark on me…

I’d never regret finding him, holding him, even if we only had those few seconds as one.

He’d always be worth those tiny seconds we shared.

He’d always be worth that soul-connecting feeling we created when our lips touched.

He’d always be the one I spent my nights dreaming of being near.

He’d always be worth it to me.

Sometimes when your heart wanted a full-length novel, the world only gave you a novella, and sometimes when you wanted forever you only had those few seconds of now.

And all I could do, all anyone could ever do, was make each moment count.

After we went home that night, we didn’t talk about it at all. Not the following week, either. I focused on Talon. Graham worked on his novel. I believed both of us were waiting for the right time to come up for us to speak about it, but that was the tricky thing about timing: it was never right.

Sometimes you just had to leap and hope you didn’t fall.
