This book consumed me in the best way. I had my reservations to even read it at first because I thought “oh great, another overhyped book.” I also approached this book with a lot of trepidation. As a child of the ’80s who watched the Challenger space shuttle explosion live in 5th grade, I was nervous about reading a story centered on women astronauts during that era. Ultimately I am glad that I dove into it because it is brilliant.
Let me tell you that this book wrecked me emotionally in the best way.
I cried during multiple parts, especially during the last 40 minutes, where I just bawled.
The audiobook narration was perfect and it captured both personalities of Joan and Vanessa.

Writing: solid. Enjoyed the setting and characters.
Plot/characters: I loved the setting – the beginning of the space shuttle era. The astronaut program, the astronauts,
the world of the 1980s in America.
Profundity: it’s a mix of feminism and sexual orientation. Whilst we are not there yet, the world has come a long
way in 45 years.

I absolutely did not expect to get so emotionally wrapped up in this story. At first I didn’t enjoy the back and forth but as the story progressed it made so much sense as to why it was written this way! I cried multiple times during this dang book! This isn’t even my normal type of book but it absolutely wrecked me! Such a beautiful heart wrenching story!
