2020 book 52

Jaclyn Moriarty's Gravity is the Thing
Book club is a couple weeks away, but I really needed to read something GOOD right now. And Jaclyn Moriarty is one of my favorite authors for a satisfying read. This is her adult debut, focusing on a single mother who goes on a weekend retreat to find out more about a mysterious Guidebook. But it’s told with Moriarty's trademark irreverent narrative voice, and there is just so much humanity in it! It’s interesting to see her play with ideas from her YA novels (light waves, guidebooks, human connection) and level them up in this way. It is just really a cathartic read somehow, maybe even more so the second time. A giant row of heart eye emojis for this one.
