rachel_smrt 's review for:
In the Quick
by Kate Hope Day
Super visceral close narrative of a young astronaut! I loved it. Incredibly physical descriptions of her experience being a focused and awkward kid genius and of all the work she does to get to space. Being an astronaut sounds ROUGH! Many scenes of her carefully disassembling machines and changing them and remaking them while also stretching her body in every way. June felt like a really whole character - her motivations and emotions and passions were vivid and real. One note - descriptions of this book emphasize the torrid romance, and this book is...not romantic. There is technically a thing but it feels truly insignificant in the scope of her broader amazing journey.
