modern social media, first love, and how to use your voice to do

to Mars. Calvin and Leon are fierce and sweet, and I never wanted
their story to end. To put it bluntly, The Gravity of Us is out of
this world.

heart drifting in orbit.

Phil Stamper’s The Gravity of Us is so interesting and well crafted
that it’s hard to believe it’s his first novel. . . . Readers will
root for Cal and Leon, their budding romance, their astronaut
families and, of course, the prospect of life among the stars.
