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.
5 Stars
First, let me start off by saying this cover...H-O-T! One of my favorite covers. This author always has fantastic covers that match the story line perfectly. And as always, Ms. Cherry knows how to suck a reader in. I'm in love with this book/series (each read can be a stand alone).
The Gravity of Us had all the feels. I laughed, cried and was shocked! I couldn't get enough of Graham and Lucy. These two broke my heart and put it all back throughout this book. Lucy is a fantastic character. The glass is always full for her and she's sees the best in people, even when they try to break her down. Whereas as Graham Russell is cold as steel.
I can't even give you a hint about these two or how they meet, because it would completely spoil their journey in finding who they are and how these two learned to love one another. I can say this book is all about forgiving and learning how to let the people who love you in. Life is too short to be unhappy and Lucy and Graham proved this!

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.
