An easy read. Enjoyable.

Good story but the ending was abrupt. I felt a little cheated.

Three stars. I’m not with the majority on this one. Started off awesome! Into it! Then the story lines stalled and came across as not quite fully developed. Good main characters, Complex ideas, but not complex story telling. Almost like how a teen targeted book feels to read. The best part was the Female Astronaut story line. An Interesting, intelligent woman becomes an Astronaut and faces all of the challenges of job discrimination in the 1980’s. Relationships of the other astronauts, secondary characters rang as central casting…most were likable but nothing unique. The awakening of the main character’s sexual orientation evolved in repetitive conversations…very tedious. EVERYONE around her knew she was gay…she is in her mid- 30’s, but she “hadn’t figured it out yet” I liked her and her lover’s characters…but their simplistic dialogue and slow boil story line left me with an eye roll. It was hard writing this review, because I wanted to LOVE this book like so many have loved it! I don’t know…maybe a good beach read?

Wish I could delete my memory and read again.

I was sad when it ended as I couldn’t put this one down. A great read with characters I completely related to, beautifully written with a great pace. Second novel I read by this author and I look forward to picking up another book by her.

I found the book to be slow in developing the story direction. I thought the story was going to be about women overcoming prejudice and discrimination at NASA. Although the book touches on that briefly, its real focus was a love story between 2 women in the 1980’s and the discrimination they face.

I really enjoyed this book. The author did a great job with the characters bringing them to life on the page. She described the love between two people and the love of a child in such a way that I could feel it in my solar plexus! Well done!

Ms. Reid put a lot of research into this book. At least the first half of it. Learning about NASA during the ‘80’s time frame. However, the book’s focus turned into a love story between two female astronauts. It began to focus too much on their lives, their struggles as people. A little too much. Had it not been for this ongoing chatter back and forth with about and between these two characters (forgetting that the story started out about NASA), I would have given this book 4.5 stars. But, I could not…

Thank you for writing this book. This story is more important now than ever! EVERYONE deserves to live their life without fear of who they are and who they love!!! Thank you for making that clear!

When an excellent book. I enjoyed this very much.
