Atmosphere
by Taylor Jenkins Reid
View in Library Catalog
book cover


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!

My new favorite book series. The TV series Tracker is based off of these novels and if you like the show, you will love the books. This one was very exciting with some thrills, twists and turns in the plot. Thre characters have a lot of depth to them and I highly recommend you start at the beginning of the series as their is a continuous undelying story that takes place throughout each of them.

Loved this new novel by one of my favorite authors. It has a determined, very independent heroine, Sloan Cooper, with a very supportive family. After a traumatic incident, she returns home where she recovers. Meets Nash, who has recently bought a house near her parents and has traumas of his own from childhood. There is a lot of suspense as Sloan tracks a duo of serial killers. Spoiler alert: happy ending!
