Leder, Meg. Letting Go of Gravity. Simon Pulse, 2018. Charlie and Parker are twins, but that's where their similarities end. Charlie has had leukemia twice and is now in remission, although he has one more year of high school to finish. Parker has just graduated first in her class, ...

"Em grabs my hand as I watch Charlie swing back to the tree and then out again, like he's flying, and then he whoops, no words, just a scream of pure joy and raw fury, a heart on the outside for everyone to see..." Letting Go of Gravity is, much like it's synopsis states, about a br...
Beautiful, beautiful book! I adored this book, these characters, the setting, the issues, the imagery, all of it! Parker may be the valedictorian of her class, and she may be going to Harvard in the fall to study medicine and she may be interning during the summer at a hospital, but...
