Taylor Jenkins Reid is an amazing storyteller. No matter the subject, she brings it and the people in her books to life. I found this story of the early years of women in the space program engrossing. And now that I've read more about Sally Ride's personal life, I realize that the inspiration for the love story was closer to the truth than I had imagined.
