This was an excellent story. Every thread the author spun got woven together so satisfyingly, and the message was so poignant. Especially as a woman in STEM, it’s impossible to not feel extreme anger for those before me and extreme pride for how far we’ve come after putting this book down. The world would be a much better place if everyone on it read this story.
