I Love You, Michael Collins by Lauren Baratz-Logsted

4.0

I've tried finishing the book in 10 days since it's the first book I haven't listened to in a long time, and I did it in nine! Yay!

The book is written as letters to the astronaut Michael Collins, and this is the first time for me to know who is he (totally blaming my national only education). He was one of the three astronauts who went to the moon, but he was the one who stayed with the ship.

There three main things that touched me in the book; the first one is how depressing it was for MC knowing that he'll never set foot on the moon, the second one was the short biography about him, and the last one was Mamie being left alone.
I was so angry reading that last part, and it didn't help that I was sad and lonely myself at the time. I was so angry and really wanted her to yell at her family and make them all feel guilty for what they did.. but whatever, nothing goes as I want.

Overall, I'm really happy I got to read this, even with it not being an audio.
