I’ll be at Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill, NC to celebrate the release of her novel Something Like Gravity. We’ll be talking about love, teenagers, queer stories, and our books.

About Something Like Gravity: For fans of Love, Simon and Eleanor & Park, a romantic and sweet novel about a transgender boy who falls in love for the first time—and how first love changes us all—from New York Times bestselling author Amber Smith.

Chris and Maia aren’t off to a great start.

A near-fatal car accident first brings them together, and their next encounters don’t fare much better. Chris’s good intentions backfire. Maia’s temper gets the best of her.

But they’re neighbors, at least for the summer, and despite their best efforts, they just can’t seem to stay away from each other. The path forward isn’t easy. Chris has come out as transgender, but he’s still processing a frightening assault he survived the year before. Maia is grieving the loss of her older sister and trying to find her place in the world without her. Falling in love was the last thing on either of their minds.

But would it be so bad if it happened anyway?

I’ll be sitting down with Becky Albertalli to discuss my book I Wish You All the Best and her novels Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, The Upside of Unrequited, Leah on the Offbeat, and the novel she co-wrote with Adam Silvera, What If It’s Us.

There will be a signing afterwards, so come by to hear us talk, and pick up some exclusive I Wish You All the Best swag.
