Something Like Gravity

By: Lorne, Kira

Ben Hargrove is very good at complicated systems.

Pressure sensors. Flow transmitters. Anything with inputs, outputs, and clear rules.

People, unfortunately, do not come with manuals.

So when Beth Sinclair-the bright, funny, cheerleader everyone else seems to orbit-starts paying attention to him, Ben assumes he's misreading things. Or imagining them. Or accidentally standing in the wrong place again.

Beth, meanwhile, is working with a completely different problem.

From her side, Ben is attentive, gentle, quietly devastating, and somehow oblivious to the fact that half the campus has been circling him for months. He listens. He notices things. He shows up without performing. And he has absolutely no idea what's going on around him.

As their conversations stretch into milkshakes, notes, inside jokes, and long walks home, Beth starts to realize something alarming:

Ben isn't just sweet.

He's the catch.

Something Like Gravity is a contemporary romance about missed signals, mutual awkwardness, and the slow, hilarious moment when someone finally realizes they've been standing at the center of the pull the whole time.

Tender, funny, and deeply character-driven, this is a love story about being seen-and about the guy who never noticed he was.
