What if the universe didn't just glitch...
what if it was trying to correct you?
Nova has always felt slightly out of place-like a forgotten song lyric, a dream she can't fully remember, or a memory that doesn't match the world around her. At first, she brushes it off as stress. But when she notices logos she's known her whole life suddenly spelled differently, timelines rearranged, and an entire celebrity death undone, she knows something is wrong-not with her-but with reality.
Then it happens.
A stranger walking down the hallway flickers like corrupted code and disappears in front of her. His backpack drops. His footsteps vanish. And every person around her continues living as if he never existed.
Everyone except Nova... and one other person.
Orion.
He's seen the glitches too. He knows the Mandela-like anomalies. And he recognizes the strange spiral symbol that appeared in both their visions-marked: Singularity #14. There's a gravitational pull between them that defies logic, distance, and time-as if they've stood together across lifetimes.
As the world rapidly destabilizes-gravity reversing, continents shifting overnight, mirrors reflecting alternate versions of people, and the sky pixelating like a broken simulation-Nova and Orion search for answers. Their discoveries are more shocking than either imagined:
Their universe isn't natural-it's a sealed simulation trapped inside a black hole.
Every "Mandela Effect" wasn't a mistake-it was a correction.
Every erased person wasn't missing-they were overwritten.
And Nova and Orion are not anomalies-they are failsafes written into reality itself.
They've done this before.
They've loved before.
They've died before.
In every timeline, they find each other.
And in every timeline, the universe collapses.
Now Nova faces a devastating choice:
Escape into the real universe-but leave Orion behind forever.
Or reset everything-risking her memories, identity, and existence-just to save him.
Because sometimes love isn't an emotion-it's a frequency.
A law of physics.
A constant.
A force strong enough to break simulations, rewrite fate, and reshape the cosmos.
Emotional, haunting, romantic, and breathtakingly original, The Gravity Between Us is perfect for fans of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, Interstellar, They Both Die at the End, They Both Die at the End, The Atlas Six, Paper Towns, and Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.
This is a story about:
Soulmates across realities
Memory, identity, and destiny
The cost of being chosen
The science of love and the love inside science
Second chances when time itself collapses
If you've ever felt d j vu that wasn't logical...
If you've ever remembered something no one else did...
If you've ever believed some connections are bigger than one lifetime...
Then this story was already waiting for you.
Some stories aren't written in ink-they're written in gravity.
