This was strange in the best way — atmospheric, a little eerie, and hard to put down. Some parts dragged, but overall it was good.

Kill Your Darlings

A mystery in reverse, a book written backwards, starting with the end of the story, and tracing the situation backwards. Layer by layer we understand how the couple got to the place they are today, and what has kept them bound them together, while tearing them apart. It was quite fascination learning how they their story started. An interesting read, once you get the pattern realizing that you are sort of reading backwards.

I did not particularly like the book. Terry was weak and allowed herself to be taken advantage of. even Chris abused her I understand she allowed it in order to get her son back. she gave up Gabe because she was not able to raise him. I haven't read the earlier books so not sure how Chris and Terry came to know decker and Rina but thank god for them still I'm sorry the Terry was killed and Chris took the easy way out and committed suicide leaving Gabe without a father as if it wasn't bad enough he lost his mother

Atmosphere

Ok so I'm not a huge space fan, to be honest it scares me but I am a big Taylor Jenkins Reid fan so I had to give this one a go. On the surface, as a reader I thought I was getting a novel about women in NASA's Shuttle Program, but that was only a piece of what this story was about. Pros: I'm going to be honest, I usually don't go for this kind of romance but it worked and I liked both of the main characters. I loved the dual storyline with Barbara and Frances as it added depth to Joan's character and who she was. I also loved the NASA aspect and the nods to history. Cons: I wanted more of the space aspect. The book started off on such a high note but then it dragged in the middle. Thankfully the last quarter of the book really picked up. Overall, I really enjoyed this one!

When I started this book, I thought it might become a DNF book for me, but I was wrong. As I continued to read, I really became invested in the characters. I ended up enjoying it very much and would highly recommend.
