Another wonderful title by Taylor Jenkins Reid!! Atmosphere felt like a stunning blend of historical insight, heartfelt romance, and unforgettable characters. I loved reading about the fictional journey of the first American women in space. The rich detail about their training and the challenges they faced makes the book as educational as it is emotional. The romance, while sweet and occasionally frustrating, feels authentic to the time period, adding layers of complexity to the characters’ relationships. I was rooting for Joan and Vanessa, to make it to space (and back!!) and for their romance.

This book had me hooked from start to finish, keeping me up late into the night and leaving me in tears as I read the final words. Atmosphere is moving, inspiring, and unforgettable. I loved it!! Thanks so much!

In-sa-ne-ly good book. I read all the author's work (and loved every book !) and I truly think this is her best one yet.
Joan is an incredible main character, and her relationship with Frances is so touching and pure. The building up of the love story between Joan and Vanessa was SO well done, the oh-so-right amount of slow burn, and then just perfection until the very end.

I finished reading it a few days ago and I'm still thinking about it.

Will absolutely recommend this book to everyone, and I can't wait for June for everyone to fall in love with it.

This book made me want to fist pump the air through my tears. I appreciate how Taylor Jenkins Reid tells a story of astronauts in the eighties with a rich balance of technical details and rich characters that you cheer for. A love story between two women in a field that opposed their relationship meant one more thing they had to rise up against, and it was told in a way that pulled me in and refused to let go. What a fabulous book.

I absolutely loved Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid! This truly is a love story and it made me cry! Joan’s romance is so heartfelt and her journey to becoming an astronaut in the 1980s is such an interesting backdrop. Her relationship with her sister and niece were so compelling as well. Joan was such a fascinating character and her love story was so emotional. I loved the drama and all my tears at the end!!
