oihanesaez 's review for:
Atmosphere
by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I really enjoyed reading this. Girls can be astronauts too fuck yes.
This is a love story between two women. Two incredible women that dream for the stars, literally. They fight all gender roles, they fight misogyny, they fight men and the patriarchy to be able to prove to the world that yes, women can be astronauts too!!!! And I think that was so fucking cool.
I loved the relationship Joan had with her niece Frances. So wholesome, so pure and they both supported each other through thick and thin and I grew to love that little thing so fucking much.
This has not been a 5 star read because I feel like I didn't feel as much as I thought I would. Like I did not feel that burning thing inside me while reading the love build up. Maybe there was not enough tension for me? I don't know why that happened but it is why it's not 5 stars. But maybe it's a me thing so yeah.
I just really love women in STEM fighting every fucking stereotype and I appreciate books that talk about women in STEM because I am one and I feel represented in these kinds of books. That burning passion to discover and explore the universe and the laws that rule it. I find it fascinating and reading this book showed me that I might be understood finally. There were some philosophical and existential discussions in this book that strangely enough I mostly did not agree with Joan but I understood her because I think about those philosophical and existential topics myself with myself and I have made my own opinions about it and yeah I just felt seen in this book.
“When you die, someone will bury you or turn your body into ashes. Eventually, you will return to the Earth. You already are a part of the Earth. What better reason do we have to take care of this Earth and everything on it than the knowledge that we are of one another?”
