A solid read. I didn’t expect it to unfold into this kind of love story - I went in blind, only knowing it had a NASA backdrop. Joan’s love for Frances was so powerful it left me sobbing.

If I had to break it down: about 20% pursuit of space, 30% romance, and 50% family drama. I was hoping for more from the outer space angle - otherwise, this easily could’ve been a five-star read. Still, it’s heartfelt, emotional, and beautifully written.
