I had a good time reading the book. There were emotions, suspense, even a little bit of humor. I liked the simple style, the dialogs, the characters. And still, the plot was a bit to predictable, the time jumps especially in the beginning of the book gave to much away and sometimes there was just not enough plot for the chapters. In the end maybe my expectations were to high - this one could sadly not compare to Evelyn Hugo at all.

I adored every bit of space travel, feminist, 1980s that this story had to offer. 
But 

I truthfully don’t feel like the Frances, Barbara storyline was necessary. At all. And this could be my sensitive ‘mom of 2 young kids’ heart talking, but despite the beautiful prose and description of caring for a daughter, I didn’t want to read it. I wanted this to be a space story about a woman falling in love for the first time and becoming an astronaut despite all of the challenges of being a queer woman in the 1980s. And the story was that! I wanted it to only be that. But 2/3 of the way through it became a story about balancing family and work and love and then we barely got the excitement of the space story back in the last 20 pages. 
What I loved about Carrie Soto was the full immersion into the tennis world. This was almost that, and all of the, albeit beautiful, bits with Frances were just heartbreaking and took away from the story.

As I said repeatedly while reading: it was a beautifully written book that I was having a miserable time reading.

Houston, I need more tissues and an epilogue. Highly recommend the audiobook version, but NOT while driving due to all the sobbing. I don't normally like space/astronaut books, but I loved this book so much! Really would've liked to see an epilogue though.

This was such a good read! TJR knocks it out of the park again with this 1980s set space adventure. I found Vanessa and Joan to be really likable characters, Barbara made me want to grab her by the shoulders and shake her, and Frances so adorable and in need of a good hug. I enjoyed the themes and challenges the characters faced, it all felt very relevant to the time period and workfield which wasn’t all that long ago. This story is sad but also hopeful which TJR balances realistically and enjoyably in this one. Definitely recommend it!
