Atmosphere: A Love Story | Taylor Jenkins Reid

Pickpick

I never know what I will get when I pick up a book by this author, but experience tells me I will love it, and this one is no exception. This book is about romantic love, the love for a child and the love of science & space. Set in the 1980's around the Space Shuttle Program, it also clearly demonstrates the sacrifices astronauts must make, particularly the first women in the program. I really enjoyed it. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. 4.5/5

So good! Loved every minute of this and will avoid saying much so you can go into it without expectations. I will say that some of the descriptions about space, the natural world, and love will stay with me for a long while. Just fantastic! #Bookspin #Doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

A curious story that combines wonderfully ascerbic humour from Lydia, a London journalist, who returns to her Welsh cottage with her put upon friend Betty, with lovely descriptive writing. Lydia + Betty mingle with the locals and enjoy the various relationships that allow Lydia scope for her barbs. There is also a strange supernatural thread + commentary by a curious absent character, Angharad, which perhaps added little. Very enjoyable ⬇️

andrew61 and will read more by the author as I love that gently dark middle class writing reminiscent of spark et al. Picked this up after it was referenced by Jonathan coe on the New bbc book prog Take four books which is good albeit I am still annoyed about the bbc axing open book a great programme specifically focused on books as they also did a few years ago with the film programme. 3mo

Finished the Atmosphere ARC, so good! I am also knitting a hat for return to the tundra for a serendipitously named Astronomy knit along.

This was a really good book but is there anything narrated by Marin Ireland that she doesn‘t make better??
