Atomic Anna by Rachel Barenbaum
3.75
dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I found I enjoyed this more than I originally anticipated. The historical references to scientific discovery were well researched, and I thought the author did a good job inserting her characters in to the historical events and eras she utilized. I also found the alternating chapters helped keep the novel feeling fresh. I can't say that any one thing made this book stand out from others I've read, but everything was well executed
