Man was that an emotional rollercoaster. So many ups and downs in this book. The love in this story is so beautiful. Not only romantic love, but love for her family and for her passion. I resonated a lot with Joan’s journey of finding her queer identity and it was so heartbreaking to know that not so long ago it was so unacceptable in society to be gay. That they couldn’t live in the open and be happy, they had to hide their relationship from everyone they cared about. As the story progresses and we get more snippets of the Vanessa’s mission, the context completely changes as we learn more about their lives. The deaths of the crew members are tragic from the beginning, but going back in time and coming to love their characters while knowing they’ve already died really was heartbreaking. Absolutely loved this book and wish i could read it again for the first time
