do not let lesbians go to space. DO NOT LET THEM. THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED. and DO NOT WRITE A BOOK ABOUT IT. "We can succeed or fail, get it right or get it wrong, love and lose the ones we love, and still the Summer Triangle will point south." katielynn is my biggest opp. do you not like joy or whimsy?!?!?! do you only like love if it involves pain and suffering?!?!?! at first, i was quite sad they made it somewhat of a happy ending but then i realized that there isn't enough happy media for women in love, especially for this time period. "Maybe they had not asked for too much. Maybe they would get everything they wanted." because they should get everything they want. if vanessa and joan were alive today they would be in their late 70s. they would've been able to be legally married in their late 60s. they just wanted "the right to exist and to love and be proud and happy. the right to live" and ktl wants to take that away from them. #cancelkatielynn(sometimesgrace)beck.

this was good but not my fav TJR book. it ended up leaning more romance than “woman navigating NASA” which was fine, but the romance felt a little insta-love and repetitive for me. I really liked Joan and Frances (and loved to hate Barb). the 1984 timeline with the shuttle mission was tense, and my favorite part of the book. I think this could have gotten up to a 4 star read with a well rounded epilogue, I would have loved a bit more to the ending - there’s so much “what’s next?” to the ending that I would have loved to see
