I was so excited to read this one, about the wives of the first US astronauts. The glitz and glamour of a “Mad Men” type era—I was all over it! Unfortunately, it didn‘t have the narrative feel I was hoping for, and instead I found it very biographical and dry.

The Wives of Los AlamosCinfhen I thought that was well done!!! 6y
Reviewsbylola No, I did not. The first person plural completely threw me off and I really wasn‘t enjoying it solely for that reason. I bailed and I‘m scared to try again. 😭 @Cinfhen 6y

Cinfhen It took a few pages for me to adjust to that format but once I did I kind of appreciated what the author did!! I‘d say try again but I feel like you‘re not gonna get past the “we” 😟😂😝 6y
Kalalalatja Reading the first few lines of your post, I got all excited, but then it went away again 😐 6y
WorldsOkayestStepMom I watched the tv series a few years ago, but I had no idea it was a book! 6y
Reviewsbylola I‘m pretty sure I won‘t either. 😬 @Cinfhen 6y
