ARC received via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review 
 How We Deal With Gravity is the first book that I have read by Ginger Scott. I was initially intrigued by the blurb and after reading the powerful opening scene I was completely hooked. I very much enjoyed the writing and thought that the main characters were well developed. 
 Avery Abbot's life so far hasn't turned out the way that she envisioned it would. At 25, she finds herself a single mother to a 5-year Max, who has autism. Dealing with Max's autism is a constant struggle but Avery is a great mother who loves her son unconditionally and will always put his needs first. 
 Mason Street left his hometown 5 years ago with hopes of making it big in the music industry. Now, with nowhere to go, after being dropped from his record label Mason is forced to return home. 
 Ray Abbot, Avery's father, is the only father figure that Mason has ever known. He is also the person who taught Mason everything that he knows about music. As a result, Avery and Mason are not strangers to one another. Now that their paths have crossed again, Avery tries to convince herself that Mason is still the same jerk that he was in high school so that she won't make the mistake of falling in love with him again. Mason, on the hand, will do whatever it takes to show Avery that he has changed. 
 Mason's band is given a second chance in the music industry and while on tour he receives news from home that makes him realize that the things that he previously thought he wanted might not be what he really wants at all. 
 "I also know that I've never wanted to be anywhere more. Not even on tour. And I've never wanted to be someone's someone but damn do I want to be her everything." 
 In the end, this is a story that shows that sometimes when life doesn't go the way that you expect it to it's because it's going to end up better than you've imagined.
