Let’s not have the main characters cheat in a relationship to show their love

THIS. BOOK. Ashley delivered all the delicious teen angst and I am here for it.
It’s rare to have a book with two love interests where one of them doesn’t come across as the bad guy! I appreciate that Ashley can write a book with characters who make mistakes and decisions that you might not agree with because it makes them feel tangibly human.
I tabbed SO many lines in this book. It was beautiful and powerful, and Ashley has such an incredible way with words. I am in awe of her writing ability and will read a takeout menu if she writes it.

3.5 Stars rounded up because I love Ashley Schumacher's writing, and the characters did have chemistry. However, it was hard for me to root for them because of how they acted.
Spoiler
Flirting and being so emotionally involved while Sam refused to end things with his girlfriend made me feel icky about what would have otherwise been very sweet.sunnysadiescarlett's review

*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*
This book contains themes of cheating, deception, and child abuse that may mean this books is not appropriate for some readers.
Full of yearning and angst, THE ORBIT OF YOU follows two childhood friends after a chance reunion during high school brings up painful memories and the hope of creating different, unpredictable futures.
Captivating and beautifully written, Schumacher has once again created a meaningful story about life and love.

I’ve read a handful of Ashley’s books and they are always 1) romantic and 2) ANGSTY. I cry, every single time, and this book was no exception.
The character arc for Sam was SO moving. I loved the way Nova loved him, from childhood, and how he in turn accepted her just as she was. I think I wanted more evidence on the page for their romance—like, the link was this shared past, but I wish there was more talk and connection in their present. And more kissing! The angst was the best part. I love semi-sad kissing books.
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an eARC of this delightful novel. Opinions are my own.

This book was so good. Nova and Sam are childhood friends but Sam has to move away. They make a promise promise to meet again. When they do the story unfolds into each of them working on being true to themselves and being honest with their families. I loved this story so much. So many good quotes. I will read anything Ashley writes.
