The Gravity of Us Book Review

“The Gravity of Us ” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read.Cal wants to be a journalist, and he’s already well underway with almost half a million followers on his FlashFame app and an upcoming internship at Buzzfeed. But his plans are derailed when his pilot father is selected for a highly-publicized NASA mission to Mars. Within days, Cal and his parents leave Brooklyn for hot and humid Houston. With the entire nation desperate for any new information about the astronauts, Cal finds himself thrust in the middle of a media circus. Suddenly his life is more like a reality TV show, with his constantly bickering parents struggling with their roles as the “perfect American family.” And then Cal meets Leon, whose mother is another astronaut on the mission, and he finds himself falling head over heels–and fast. They become an oasis for each other amid the craziness of this whole experience. As their relationship grows, so does the frenzy surrounding the Mars mission, and when secrets are revealed about ulterior motives of the program, Cal must find a way to get to the truth without hurting the people who have become most important to him.

Brief Summary The Gravity of Us by Phil Stamper

Nostalgia runs throughout this fine, YA coming of age romance – along with a good dose of super-cool space nerdiness. The narrator, Cal, is a seventeen year old Brooklyn hipster who is into playing old cassettes, but also has a large social media following. His father lands a job as a NASA astronaut, so the family relocates to a Houston-area community designed around a 1960’s aesthetic, meant to rekindle the national sentiment surrounding the old Apollo space missions. Once there, Cal meets Leon, the teen son of another astronaut, and the boys start falling for each other. Yet, behind the made-for-television facade, the boys and their families navigate real life challenges and the inherent risks of a space launch.While the first 40% of the book was “so-so” for me, a mildly interesting and efficiently written peek into Cal’s life in Brooklyn, the story takes off as Cal gets to know Leon and the complications of the NASA mission accumulate.
