This is not a romance novel. Ignore the publisher's description of this book. This is a story about a brilliant young woman who understands engineering problems, but not people, and the relationships she manages to build anyway. There is some weird stuff in there that comes from Jane Eyre, but it really isn't the point. The audio book was brilliantly narrated.

I really enjoyed the book for the author’s ability to vividly capture the main character’s experience of isolation and the fear of the unknown. Female astronaut June begins her space career as a young adolescent by enrolling in the National Space Program at the age of twelve. Six years later, she achieves the title of engineer.
June’s story revolves around the missing spacecraft named Inquiry that disappeared when she was twelve years old. Now as an eighteen-year-old, June is haunted by the mystery of the spacecraft and is determined to find out what happened to the missing crew. Filled with easy-to-understand spacecraft terminology and the momentum of exploring the unknown, In the Quick is an excellent story for space lovers and for readers who enjoy the thrill of adventure rooted in a not-so-distant future.

This story is... Interesting. In broad terms, it's well written, engaging, and contemplative. But when it comes to the mood it is often tense and sorrowful. There are few genuinely happy moments, and because of the way it's written there were numerous times I felt detached and dissociated. Additionally, I am not a fan of the ending. Specifically: I hated James, and detest the fact that she goes back to him. That really is a major spoiler, by the way. Anyway. Because of its quality, and the high degree of recognition I felt toward the main character, the flaws don't hold it back too much for me. But... They're still too much for me to feel happy about the book. Which is sad.

Read this if you are concerned about potential triggers or my review. If simply listing those triggers is already a lot, it may be best not to read this either.foreverbookwandering's review against another edition
