The Gravity of Us - Paperback

by Jamie Avery King (Author)

Can love endure decisions that have the potential to shatter hearts?

Nick is a star art major at Silver Creek University. He's praised by his professors and peers, but he's followed by a shadow of regret. Afraid of being hurt, he hides behind smiles and avoids meaningful relationships with anyone except his only two friends, and he doesn't expect to find real love again.

Taka lives his days suffocated by the expectations of others. He's unwilling to show his true self to anyone but his best friend, and he spends his days pretending to be the perfect son, boyfriend, and friend. He keeps his walls up around everyone, including his family, leaving him lonely even when surrounded by loved ones.

The pair meet by chance when Taka seeks help for a class assignment. Drawn to one another, they never expected to meet someone who could fill the void in their hearts, offering a safe place to escape reality. A place where love and acceptance are unconditional. A place to be seen for who they are.
