I've been reading a lot of sci-fi books, and this one doesn't disappoint. Gravity is a mix between sci-fi and dystopian. Two great dystopians in one.... heck yeah!

The characters were great. Aria is a kick butt chick. She's not that arrogant type that annoys the hell out of you either. She still has the same confusing emotions that all teenage girls have. I think that's what makes her such a relatable character. Jackson is very mysterious. You never really understand his intentions. He's also wicked hot, so that probably adds to his appeal. I adore him and think he's a great character. I appreciated the fact that Aria and Jackson were faced with probably situations. Aria has to decide whether she trusts her dad an what the government has always told her. Jackson just wants to do what's best for everyone.

There was quite a bit of action. I still wonder where all of the situations lead, and maybe things aren't exactly what they seem. Gravity is fast paced, and you are thrown into the dynamics of this new way of living. The ending left me in "what the crap" mode. I can't wait for the sequel, Hover.

Even if you aren't a big fan of science fiction, I think you should give this one a try. You'll like it. ( )

ooh, I thought this one was already on my TBR list! (It was supposed to be.)

Glad it now is for sure.

I don't think 5 stars is enough!!!
I read this book in a matter of a few hours. When it was complete I was left on the verge of tears of sorrow and joy and gasping for breath!! I'm already trying to get a hold of the next book! I fell in love with Ari and Jackson. Though not always believable circumstances, it is called fiction! I love this book! ( )

Ari Alexander lives in a semi-post apocalyptic world that has been forced invite aliens onto Earth. But she breaks the first rule: don't ever peek. And from there is pulled into a story of corruption and betrayal and of course, it's up to her to save the world alongside a hot alien boy.

I couldn't buy the premise - the patches cannot be the only way to transfer antibodies or whatnot. Just seems like an easy plot device to start the whole story after she "peeks".

It was a typical love triangle with the forbidden hot stranger boy and the typical pretty much perfect already-established relationship boy.
It was a typical try-to-be kick-ass girl that beats people up, but is still a romantic at heart.
It was a typical save the world story.

I can see why people who read this type of book will love this story - it's really not a bad book. It's not poorly written, the grammar and sentence structure are good, the characters are stereotypical but still lovable.
Maybe I'm just growing out of these books or I'm not in the mood, but to be honest, I couldn't even finish it because it wasn't interesting enough for me. But I didn't hate it. It was just not engaging for me - it felt like the story was written on a paranormal teen romance check list with the expected tropes and everything.

One star because I still couldn't finish the book. It used to be one and a half, but I took the half away because it really wasn't that good. Recommended for people who like paranormal teen romances. ( )
