Kai’s life is a series of choreographed steps, each one shielding her from the tragic memories of her past. Audition, dance, paycheck, repeat. It’s a broken record, but it’s what keeps her world spinning.
Sebastian’s theater production is a sinking ship. To add insult to injury he’s obligated to give it one final run.
Without her, his past will undoubtedly destroy his future. But with her… he may be opening himself up to more of a challenge than he bargained for.
The Trouble with Gravity is standalone within the Gravity series. You do not need to read any of the other books to thoroughly enjoy this one.
Initially after reading this book, I truly loved it. Now that it’s been about two weeks (completely forgot to write review), I have to say that my love for this book isn’t quite as high. It’s not to say that I still didn’t really enjoy it, but I can sit back and relook at everything instead of that through that initial high you get when you finishing a really good read.
Kai and Sebastian’s story is a sweet romance but it starts off very rocky. Sebastian is a selfish asshole who has been burned in the past. But he’s allowed those past problems dictate a lot in his life, especially how he handles things. Kai has overcome some difficult times in her life but there are still things that she hasn’t been able to face head on.
When Kai auditions for a part in production that Sebastian is running, she’s not sure she is right for the part. Sebastian has his own personal reasons for wanting Kai to take the lead and Kai has her own fears to face in order to take part. However, they both aren’t exactly what one would call friendly with one another. The encounters they have had are heated, at best. But at the time winds down, Kai finds herself seeing less reasons to not take the role.
Allen plays this story out at the perfect pace. Kai and Sebastian slowly to get to know one another on the professional level but also somewhere along the lines, it turns into a friendship. And then when they both stop fighting the chemistry between them, it becomes more.
I love that there aren’t any clichés in this book and everything that happens feels so real. As I said – I don’t have the same high as when I finished it, but I still remember so much about this book. And for me, that still makes for a great book to read.
