Retrograde by Peter Cawdron
2.0

Fun story. I rolled my eyes a lot, though. The protagonist is a woman, but sounds like a man (: There's a lot of *telling* going on, sometimes mid-action. A huge amount of repetition. And then I could see the twist coming, but that didn't make it any more plausible or even entertaining :|

But I love space, and I love reading about Mars, so I finished the book :)

Oh, and all the "cultural issues"? Super stilted, loaded with cringey stereotypes. Have to wonder a bit if that's the author's own experience talking.
