Moriarty's stunningly beautiful adult debut novel explores the self-help world, female sexuality, friendship, family, and love in a tender, witty, realistic manner. There are many things to discuss about this book, but what struck me most was the grieving process woven so intricately throughout the narrative. How do you go about grieving the loss of, well, anything--a marriage, a disappeared brother, a one-night stand, the end of The Guidebook, the end of friendships? Gravity is the Thing is a gravity-defying feat that tackles all of this.
