Atmosphere - Taylor Jenkins Reid - A Review

This book was extremely disappointing and, frankly, misleading. I picked it up expecting a story centered on space, science, and intelligent women navigating a high-stakes space program. Instead, it’s primarily a romance between two women—a fact that isn’t made clear until about a third of the way through which like a bait-and-switch.

The summary and marketing misrepresent the story, and it left me feeling frustrated and misled. The space program and scientific elements are minimal and feel like a backdrop rather than the focus, and the emphasis on romance overshadowed the parts I was actually interested in. The pacing also dragged in sections where the focus shifted entirely to relationship drama, making the story feel uneven and padded.

While some readers might enjoy the romance, for me, this book failed on almost every level. I don’t feel it delivered what it promised, and I would caution anyone who is looking for a space exploration story—this is not it.

★★☆☆☆

I usually put a link if you want to purchase it - but, nope. I do not recommend this one, at all.
