Taylor Jenkins Reid is becoming a favorite for me. I loved this story. ❤️ Also, I have a comment/question for anyone who has read this. I‘ll put it in the comments section with a spoiler alert.
Unpopular opinion, pushed through 100 pages and never truly got it, bailed and said life is too short to read books you don‘t enjoy.
I love TJR and was dying to read this, but it fell short. They can‘t all be bangers😀
pickThis is the quintessential TJR read, which means there is a languid build-up where she grabs our hand to take us with her as she sets the scene. Then, without warning, you are invested in these lives. You love who they love, dislike those that do them wrong, and mostly shatter when they do. This story will be tucked away inside me for a long while.
pickI started this book concerned when I wasn‘t immediately drawn in. I ended the book with tears streaming down my face. Taylor Jenkins Reid got me again.
pickOh be still my heart 🥹😍!! This was nothing like what I expected! Yes, there‘s space travel and really cool behind the scenes aspects to NASA, but the real heart to it all is a tender love story for the ages. Joan is such a special character and watching her struggle with her hideous sister while trying to balance her love for her brilliant niece and the true love of her life, one she has to keep secret, was heart wrenching. So freaking good! 5🌟
Starting today on audio! 🎧
I‘ve been looking forward to this one for months!

pick“Well, we are the stars", Joan said. "And the stars are us. Every atom in our bodies was once out there. Was once a part of them. To look at the night sky is to look at part of who you once were, who you may one day be.”
A PICK. But not sure if it was of the same caliber that I usually expect from TJR…the relationships were good though. And I found myself rooting for Joan, Vanessa, and Frances-truly great humans.

pickI was not expecting a Taylor Jenkins Reid novel to start off by giving The Martian vibes, but I am *not* complaining. If you're expecting a nonstop thrill ride, though, that's not what this book is. Atmosphere is still very much a character study, romance, and exploration of what life was like during the 1970s and 80s: for queer people, for women, and for people working on the space shuttle program at NASA. Taylor Jenkins Reid at her best.
