This felt like literary fiction for middle graders. I found it pretty bleak, especially because it’s set up to revolve around the challenger disaster and one of the three protagonists is super invested in it. I did not enjoy reading a book where the parents’ behaviour was setting up the kids for attachment trauma - it’s obviously a real experience, but it felt so hopeless.
