Luc O'Donnell is tangentially - and reluctantly - famous. His rock-star parents split when he was young, and the father he's never met spent the next 20 years cruising in and out of rehab. Now that his dad's making a comeback, Luc's back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything. To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice normal relationship...and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He's a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and someone who has never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. He’s perfect boyfriend material.

And a secret: A spiraling out of control mother, and the knowledge that he's the only one who can keep the family from falling apart.

A weak story
tbh didn‘t really enjoy. I hated the pacing. No ups and downs and no moments of exhilaration and cannot resonate with the emotional moments. Liked the narrator’s voice though.But not worth my credit.

Heavy eye rolling 🙄
I’m sorry. I just couldn’t get into this book. I listened to the whole thing but had an incredibly difficult time. The premise of the story was intriguing and I liked that part a lot. Definitely loved the astronaut part and all the stuff about the families. The main character Cal though, geeezus. He was so incredibly unlikable. I loathed the character and found him so intolerable. And unfortunately the love story part felt so shallow and forced. I hated this book over all and I really wanted to like it.

Good, not great
I recently finished the book "Red, White, and Royal Blue". I could barely put it down and fell in love with the characters and the story. I was really looking for something similar that would suck me in, make me cry, and cheer... this book was good, not great.
The narration was a little flat for me. I did enjoy the "Star Watch" segments but think that part would be hard in a physical book form- it worked well in the audio book!
I don't usually leave less than 5 star reviews because it seems like I love every book that I listen to. And, after listening to the author's note at the end of the book, I feel a little guilty leaving less than 5! But it's a take it or leave it for me.

When reading do you ever feel like an accomplice?
The Gravity of Us is simple the story that all teenage boys or girls of a millennial age or even younger should read to understand that with hard work everything is possible. If this book does not resonate with this generation, I am not sure what will. Not only is this book dealing with typical topics of what comes next after school or even how to find one’s path, like any other coming of age story, but gives a modern approach on how to use social media to propel your life goals. As a master in Digital Marketing and Social Media, I can see modern topics that this generation can understand and aspire to be, from Influencing exposure to followers to managing one’s brand in the many endeavors of finding the perfect niche to where develop and exploit one’s creativity.
The approach to sexuality is done without many details in a sense that it does not get vulgar, so stop asking if it is “clean” because young adults need to see themselves reflected in the work of authors. This makes them feel comprehended and help them see that they are not alone. These are small oasis for those who need an escape of this highly censored society. Cal with all his intensity was a nice character that honestly annoyed me too much from time to time. His need to plan everything ahead of time, I see myself in that trait, and that everything all the time is about himself!

Underwhelming
This wasn't terrible but it was dull. The shooting stars aspect just never grabbed me and although I could suspend belief over the Mars thing the way the story pans out is, frankly, a little dumb.
The biggest problem I had is that at no point did I care about the characters, I never became emotionally invested in them especially the development of Cal and Leon's relationship which at best feels like a minor side plot, a boring one at that. I've listened to hour long radio dramas where I've cared more about the characters. Cal isn't exactly dislikeable but nor is he particularly likeable and Leon barely registers, the family relationships offer something which is better than the nothingness of the rest if it but it feels like we only ever scratch at the surface. It was a struggle to make it through to the underwhelming and predictable conclusion.
The previous two books I've listened to in this genre- 'The Infinite Noise' and 'We Contain Multitudes' are vastly superior at putting you inside the heads of the characters, making you care for them and actually feel something. I'd reccomend them over this any day.

Best gay romance story I've ever read
Best thing about this novel is the actual story. I became completely invested in both the story of the space mission and the main character's drive to become a journalist. the gay Romance although brilliant didn't take centre Stage and I really loved that.

Queer plus space exploration? Yes, please!
"Don’t aim to fix people. Fixing seems so permanent, so absolute. Like there’s no room for error. Aim to make things better."
Yes, this book gives a childhood nostalgia vibe since I know I'm not the only one who dreamt of being an astronaut. The promise of exploration and being closer to the stars is all what this book is all about but a different kind of exploration and stars.
The Gravity of US is a 2020 release with a fresh take on teenage queer romance by centering the plot on Cal Lewis, Jr., a budding influencer and aspiring journalist, whose life suddenly turned upside down after his father, Calvin Lewis, Sr.,was announced as the last astronaut that completed NASA's project on exploring Mars, Orpheus V.
With this news comes a supernova of life-changing decisions, from Cal's last minute attempt to stay in Brooklyn and continue with his Flashfame streaming and do his impending Buzzfeed internship to finally admitting defeat and get a new start in Clear Lake, Texas - the place where Orpheus astronauts' family are located.
But changes can be overwhelming and will Cal manage to blend in Clear Lake with all its flawless image and glorious families?
I was intrigued to finally start this recent release and I grabbed the chance to devour it since space exploration and queer romance is a perfect combination for a refreshing read.
The promise of a unique storyline was presented decently. Cal and his eminence in the social media platform Flashfame was convincing, thanks to the authors love for space exploration since his childhood the dialogues of our MC are written as crisp as how a fanatic talks like.
I also love how this book exposes people's fascination on reality show and how the producers manipulate it for drama. I hate Josh Farrow and Kiara and the entire Starwatch crew for focusing on the astronauts' family and toying with their emotion especially with the forced Mark Bannon tribute episode.
The Tuckers family is the ultimate goals! I love how Kat and Leon are both welcoming and not two-faced,and Grace being theotherly figure that she is.
Leon is also perfectly developed and clearly complemented Cal's personality. Their combination is unique but also satisfying. I love how Phil developed their relationship with brilliant tension without compromising the showcase of a contemporary queer love story.
Overall, this is a fascinating story and an enjoyable coming-of-age book that is recommended if you are looking for teenage queer representation and if you're a fan of space exploration.

Excellent!
I really enjoyed this audiobook. First of all, I have always loved Michael Crouch's readings, so when I found out he was going to be the reader for this book, it was automatically one of my selections. I wasn't disappointed, either with Michael's performance, or with the author's writing, which is the first book I have heard or read by them. I hope Phil Stamper writes more in this genre.

#OwnVoices shoots for the stars
I really enjoyed this. I love stories about space and while this isn't set in space, it gives me enough space talk to keep me hooked. The world building was solid considering this is a debut novel. This is a story that's so full of heart and personal touches. It's so stinking cute. There's a lot of important topics in here too. Mental health (in both adults and teenagers) exploration of queer relationships and the dichotomy of personal life and social media presence. Almost all the characters are very likeable. And there's enough balance between the light stuff and the heavy to not bog it down too hard. I highly recommend this.

This was a beautifully written story. As always, the performance of the main narrator, Michael Crouch was amazing! A captivating story of the way in which young Queer people fumble through first love.

Wow.
I loved this book
From the writing and the characters, to the plot and the narrators. It was incredible.
What exactly made it amazing, I’m unsure. I think possibly the relatability of the characters, and just the different kind of story?
Definitely looking forward to getting Phil Stamper’s other book!

Such an in-depth book that weaves all aspects of a story together
There were so many small details that really drew you into the world. The starlight episodes that updated you on what the characters didn’t. And how true all the characters stayed to their morals, but still grew and learnt how to become better stronger people.
