Like Gravity: Redwood High Book 1 Kindle Edition

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 305 ratings
See all formats and editions

A steamy and angsty coming of age stand-alone that will pull at every heart string. Twists and turns that keep you on your toes, and characters who are forced to open up old wounds from their past.

Blakely
Jasper rolled into my life like a loose wagon wheel—taking out everything in his path just to get to me. It was all for show, until it wasn’t. No part of me was prepared to be swept away. After all, gravity is supposed to keep us grounded. He had other plans, and didn’t give a damn about the chaos we were about to unleash. They say secrets are like a silent death. Only, I never knew the depth of it until now.

Jasper
Inever saw Blakely coming, but when I did, there was no chance I was letting her get away. She’s a walking disaster, always leaving a trail of smoke in her wake. And me? I’m the sorry bastard who kept following her—that is, until she sucked the air right out of my lungs, just to keep her own filled. She’s a queen through and through. A spoiled rich girl that reaps no consequences, until she did. I’m that consequence, and I know her dirty little secret.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can 2 broken people find a sense of calmness with each other?

Like Gravity was an intriguing read that drew me into the story. When Jasper and Blakely met, they instantly antagonize each other. They are forced to work together on a school project and realize there is more to each other than what they originally saw

Blakely: a spoiled, rich, vain, high school girl that took pleasure in the misfortune of others. As we learn about Blakely & her life, you start to see there’s way more than what originally meets the eye.

Jasper: the bad boy football star who is forced to leave his school senior year and enroll in his High school rival school. As the story progresses you find out that he is completely misunderstood and suffering from a tragic past.

Jasper along with his father, move in his dads new girlfriend and her son, Knox, which happens to be not only Blakely's best friend but neighbor. One day at school, Blakely being late to class again, she ends up being paired with Jasper for a project instead of her best friend, Knox. As the two spend more time together, yes there is a clash of personalities but neither can deny the attraction growing between them. Both Jasper & Blakely are hiding behind secrets and their past, which prevent them from truly opening up and being happy. With time, will they realize that they are good for each other? Will they find out what each is hiding?

I admit that I wasn’t 100% on this story in the beginning with the way Blakely was being (the attitude, sassiness got annoying quickly) but as I read further, with each character peeling back their layers to show you more of them and why they are the way they are, I became hooked. I loved how the author expressed raw emotions and showed us how two broken people who found a sense of calmness with each other.

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2020

Jasper is angry- with his dad for moving them and with the circumstances surrounding his mother's death.
Blakely is an insecure mean girl with a tragic home life. As she is knocked off her status at school and she is falling apart, Jasper ends up being the one to catch her and call her out.
They begin to spend time together as school partners and neighbors. There is a push and pull as they fight for balance. Jasper refuses to settle into his new home and Blakely wants to make the people who have wronged her pay.
Jasper is holding onto graduation when he can break free at college. Blakely is waiting out the circumstances of obtaining her trust fund to finally be free of her parents.
Learning the truth of his mother's death brings Jasper to his knees and lashing out. Blakely is caught in the middle of the tradedy. Letting go of the past and accepting a future together helps them both heal.

Well written, keeps you on your toes as secrets are revealed. The absolute pain these two characters feel comes thru the pages and grabs your heart.

Jasper to Blakely:

“You don’t have to thank me, Queen B.” “Yes, I do. I don’t know why you are so kind to me. I certainly don’t deserve it, but you are. and I’m…” I stutter as I search for the words, “grateful.” “You deserve so much more than you think. I just hope one day you see it.” He pulls me into his chest, and I melt in his arms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Secrets, Lies, and Angst.

Two broken individuals amongst the secrets and lies.

This book gives you more than you expect. From the beginning you meet a mean, rich, and vain girl named Blakely, who wants to be the queen of the school but isn't quite there. You meet the new kid Jasper, who is from the rival school and the poor side of town with a IDGAFA about the world.

They definitely have a enemies to lovers feel in this book. Jasper likes to mess with Blakely for her reaction but he also see far more than most see with her also. Blakely is a character you don't know if you like or dislike sometimes but definitely sympathize with her. She has a dysfunctional family and is more the parent to her younger brother and she keeps secrets so one day she and her brother will be free of their horrible life at home. Jasper struggles with the loss of his mother and has destructive tendencies when he's provoked and can be a bit of a jerk at times. He is forced to move his senior year to his rival school where he is now on a team with his soon to be stepbrother and his dad as a coach. He doesn't want to be there but he soon finds his reason for staying because he wants the one untouchable girl he's been told to stay away from.

These two are very opposite but work by being a piece they both seem to need to heal. The secrets and lies will cause pain between all involved but it finally gives the answers as the story goes on. You definitely will get more insight into these characters.

This story has you hooked by the bad boy taunting the queen of the school in the beginning, but the more the story plays out you get two broken people needing love for the first time. If you want a book with a touch of bullying and enemies to lovers feel this is a great book to start with. I freely volunteered for an ARC with nothing to gain from it other than giving my honest opinion and review of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Story und absolut empfehlenswert
Reviewed in Germany on September 3, 2020

Ich habe so lange mit mir gerungen, mir dieses Buch zu kaufen, da es nicht so einfach ist komplexere Geschichten nicht in der Muttersprache zu lesen. Aber ich bereue meinen Kauf absolut und überhaupt nicht. Es hat zwar etwas länger gedauert, weil ich ab und an Wörter nachschauen musste, aber ich war von den ersten Seiten an total begeistert und voll vertieft in dieses Buch. Es war beinahe unmöglich meinen Kindle aus den Händen zu legen, so süchtig hat diese Story mich gemacht. Man konnte so gut mit den Protagonisten mitfühlen und sich in sie hinein versetzten, da die Entwicklung der Charaktere so schnörkellos dargestellt wurde. Ich würde die Bücher auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen. Und ich hoffe sehr, dass es vielleicht irgendwann einmal deutsche Übersetzungen geben wird.

Like Gravity features, but is not limited to, the following themes:
○ New adult
○ Contemporary Romance
○ Enemies to lovers
○ Boy next door
○ High school
○ Queen B
○ Sports romance

My overall rating for Like Gravity is…

4.5 Stars!

She's done it again! I absolutely can't get enough of Rachel Leighs books! Although I read the newer books first, I'd always planned to go back and read the original Redwood High tales. The way the story of "Like Gravity" builds and builds is excruciating; like, you know the big fall out is coming, but you can't figure out what the catalyst will be. I loved Blakely, with her unique and misunderstood personality. She's a little lost in the secrets and deceptions of her family, but that's where Jasper comes swaggering through to shake things up. The emotions, particularly the anger, Leigh projects off the page, is intense and surreal. I loved the way the tale wrapped up, neatly and beautifully, with a teasing look of what's to come in book 2, Knox's story. I also want to mention that Blakely's brother, Talon, has his turn in the spotlight with Leigh's interconnected series, Redwood Rebels (Amazing series by the way.)
