2021 American Fiction Awards Winner in Science Fiction: General 2021 IPPY Awards Gold Winner in Science Fiction 2021 International Book Awards Finalist in Fiction: LGBTQ and Science Fiction 2021 Readers' Favorite Book Awards Finalist in Fiction: Adventure 2020 Best Book Awards Finalist Fiction: LGBTQ ""In this novel, Lahey's prose is lush but surprising, describing a deeply imaginative world. . . . The author's Earth of the not-too-distant future is an intriguing, alien place, and readers will delight in watching Quinn move through it. An engaging adventure set in a deftly illustrated future."" -Kirkus Reviews ""Loved it. An adventure romp . . . set in a not-too-distant future and played for high stakes. Gravity Is Heartless is packed with insightful and oft heart-warming observation about what makes us human in the first place. It's fun, witty and endlessly inventive . . . Bravo."" -Author Peter FitzSimons ""The supporting cast, including [Quinn's] best friends, a robotic meerkat and a tough yet witty guerrilla fighter, are interesting in their own right, and almost steal the show. Lahey's debut is the beginning of a trilogy, so it is fitting that it ends with a cliffhanger, leaving readers unsure of Quinn's next steps in an increasingly unstable world."" -Booklist ""Sarah Lahey's realistic science fiction novel Gravity is Heartless is set in the near future; it involves a mystery, political intrigue, and romance. Launching a new trilogy well, the futuristic science fiction novel Gravity is Heartless is a fun trip through a climate-changed world."" -Forward Reviews ""Loved this. A wild romp in the near future. I'll be scooping up volume 2."" -Readersaurus ★★★★★ "". . . an inherently fascinating and fully entertaining read that showcases author Sarah Lahey's impressive flair for originality and the kind of narrative storytelling style that keeps the reader's attention fully focused from cover to cover."" -Midwest Book Review ""A compelling and thought-provoking exploration of love, loss, and the boundless possibilities of the future."" -Author Destiny Daniels ★★★★★ ""Highly entertaining, thought-provoking, intriguing, and meticulously researched."" -Readers' Favorite ★★★★★
