Gravity is the Thing is written through the eyes of Abi. As a teenager, Abi’s brother inexplicably disappeared overnight and her family has never been quite the same since. Prior to his disappearance, Abi has been receiving letters containing chapters from a self help style book called “The Guidebook.”
These have continued through the years and now Abi has been invited to a weekend retreat to find out the truth behind them.
This is a wonderfully uplifting story which covers a lot of difficult issues whilst wrapped around a strange guidebook with a bizarre background. The writing style changes depending on the time described and jumps around across very short chapters. The descriptions are often very vivid, making it easy to imagine being there alongside Abi and her friends and family. There are lots of amusing observations and witty lines making this a very enjoyable read.
