Notă biografică

Recenzii

This book is so gripping and easy to read. I liked the way I got to know the characters over just a few pages. The romantic moments and mental issues felt so real, making the book relatable. The book also teaches us about the reality of dealing with the media, social media and family dynamics
A big-hearted, witty, and intensely relatable debut about reaching for your dreams without losing what grounds you.
A grounded romance that shapes into its own lovely constellation.
The Gravity of Us speaks poignantly of the things that will attend every human endeavor: family, struggle to know one's self, and the kind of love that makes you feel like you're hurtling to the stars.
Phil Stamper's confident debut is an excellent exploration of modern social media, first love, and how to use your voice to do good, centered around the preparations for the first crewed mission 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.
At once a tender love story and an honest exploration of anxiety, ambition, and family dynamics, Phil Stamper's The Gravity of Us pulls you in and takes you on a beautiful, heartfelt journey. Never has the NASA space program seemed so romantic.
A debut to remember, Stamper's The Gravity Of Us draws you in for a journey of family, friendships, and ambition while exploring the power of social media and our own voices. Equal parts thoughtful and heartfelt, this book never misses a beat. Cal and Leon have my heart drifting in orbit.
A sweet-spirited romance that will capture readers' hearts and imaginations.
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.
Stamper crafts a sweet fish-out-of-water tale that also shrewdly explores the intersection between social class and modern media culture.A charming and satisfying first novel.
Given the important issues raised-media responsibility, NASA and politics, friendship and romance, mental health-this has something for a lot of different teen readers.
A openhearted novel that shows a realistic, imperfect queer relationship and a young man growing to know and to be true to himself even when everything is shifting around him.
Wow. When I picked up this book I knew I would enjoy it, if you go back to my post from a few days ago I explain that. What I didn't understand is how much I would truly enjoy this book, and how necessary it was
I ADORED this book so much! Highly recommend that you all read this book NOW
If you're looking for a cute af gay YA romance that is awkward and sweet and lovely, I can't recommend @stampepk's The Gravity of Us enough
An emotionally intense, heartrending love story to the stars
