Book Review - How We Deal With Gravity by Ginger Scott




My Thoughts

Avery dropped out of school and put everything in her life on hold to raise her autistic son whose father left them. She believes that she will live her life alone thinking that no one will ever accept her son. Then comes Mason who broke her heart years ago. He has come home having lost his dream of being a musician due to his own immaturity and laziness. He spent most of his time with Avery's family as a teenager and was oblivious to Avery's affection for him breaking her heart after all. Mason realizes that Avery is all grown up now and develops feelings for her. 

My heart ached for Avery as she struggled through most of the beginning of the book. I had a hard time liking Mason at first as I wasn't sure he was good for Avery. In the end it was a sweet love story.

I give How We Deal With Gravity 4 hearts!



About the Book

When her son Max was diagnosed with autism, Avery Abbot’s life changed forever. Her husband left, and her own dreams became a distant fantasy—always second to fighting never-ending battles to make sure Max was given opportunity, love and respect. Finding someone to fight along her side wasn’t even on her list, and she’d come to terms with the fact that she could never be her own priority again.

But a familiar face walking into her life in the form of 25-year-old Mason Street had Avery’s heart waging a war within. Mason was a failure. When he left his hometown five years ago, he was never coming back—it was only a matter of time before his records hit the billboard charts. Women, booze and rock-n-roll—that was it for him. But it seemed fate had a different plan in mind, and with a dropped record contract, little money and nowhere to go, Mason turned to the only family that ever made him feel home—the Abbots.

Avery loved Mason silently for years—until he broke her heart…completely. But time and life have a funny way of changing people, and sometimes second chances are there for a reason. Could this one save them both?
