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!

An intriguing, surprisingly engaging biography of a little-known president. This book shows Calvin Coolidge in all of his understated, but by no means insignificant, glory. Reading this book is the only time I’ve ever laughed out loud while reading a biography—a ringing endorsement indeed!

Everyone knows Dog Man IS GREAT

it is really interesting and funny

A little slow but I loved the characters and history. It made me want to go back to Florence and see the artwork with more appreciation.

We loved this intro to Shakespearean England and the time of Queen Elizabeth I! We blazed through it.

A beautiful read. This is one to be read slowly and savored as the writing and story telling are elegant.

The book is funny, I like elephants, it is creative.

Reviews say "wry and hilarious." Wry, yes. Hilarious, not so much. This is a book about family. What is a family, what does it mean to find one, to be part of one. I enjoyed this book but prefer Wilson's most previous two. I loved the characters but found the story a little slow.

I enjoyed reading this book. The story is really interesting and touching my heart too. The book is also illustrated nicely. I like the wonderful design of the characters in the book and the abundant details and colors.
