3.5 stars. I feel torn about this book. It had a strong start introducing the brainy healer FMC and the MMC assassin who begrudgingly turns to her for a cure to an illness that is slowly sealing his fate in death. The premise has so much promise! I felt like the chemistry was under-delivered and the overarching plot felt rather underwhelming to me. I wanted more adventure and magic but instead there were brothels and boredom. I think I’ll skip future books in this romantasy series.

A Kid has to eat 15 Worms to get money. It's not my favorite book.

i loved that it was emosinabal and very fun to read

I like it. I chose it because it's time for me to go to bed. And I really liked this book and I hope we can read it again, but there are other books to read.

Really good book. Loved her sense of humor and she’s so cool! Would highly recommend.

Great book with wacky components.

Sweet book. Enjoy able

I went into this book with some skepticism because I wasn’t sure how a space-related sapphic romance would pan out, but Taylor Jenkins Reid delivered! The meat of this book is actually flashbacks leading up to the shuttle disaster, with snippets of the catastrophe interspersed throughout. Joan and Vanessa are two astronauts in the 1980s who defy odds, overcome sexism and develop mutual respect and affection. Joan balances her career and family drama largely created by her self-centered sister. The relationship between Joan and her endearing niece Frances really tugged at my heartstrings. I love TJR’s way with words and the narration of this audiobook. This was great!

Hard to get through with the repetitive descriptive language but the plot was good.
