Meh. Lucy and Catherine are romantically immature. If you're here for smut, there's two scenes. There was not enough character development for me to get attached to anyone. While the pace was slow, everything was rushed; it just seemed very shallow. Overall it was a quick read, but frustrating.jackiepreston's review against another edition

„We cannot stand up in a church and make vows. But we can stand up publicly and declare that we are important together.“
This book is a love story.
A love story between two women.
A love story between women and womanhood.
A story about love between artists and their art, scientists and their science and about appreciation for the joy and connection that you can feel in the middle of these two!
The publishing of the book „The Lady‘s guide to celestial mechanics“ leads to a beautiful love between two very unlike women. But only in this relationship do they discover exactly what, except for Lucy’s book, connects the two of them. And even further, which of these things connect them to other women.
If you are looking for a heartwarming book with a young scientist and a strongheaded artist, who had to find herself aber her husbands death, you will absolutely love this book. It has well written spicy scenes but also covers the mundane realities of (forbidden) relationships. It connects friendship and allyship and community in a grander aspect than just in what is written on the page!
Especially the second half of this book will have you crying, laughing, hoping and swearing. Happy reading!
