The aching queer romance, found family, and representation of the challenging dynamics of being a woman astronaut are what I loved most about Atmosphere…but I found myself looking for a more pronounced sense of time (the 1980s) and place (NASA). I would recommend this to fans of Lessons in Chemistry that I would like to convert into fans of The Lady Astronaut series by Mary Robinette Kowal!
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Coming to this book as a fan of some of TJR's other novels, I had high hopes but ended up feeling quite underwhelmed. I agree with most that the last 10% of the book is incredibly emotional but it wasn't enough to change my view.The tone was verging on YA and I struggled somewhat to find Joan interesting.I'm not a frequent reader of space based lit but it felt like the science was lacking. There's loads of better LGBTQIA+ titles out there
It‘s a grid full of picks! One book gets the tag and so unfair to eight other books when TJR s in the mix!

•I don‘t even have to know what a TJR book is about, because I know she‘s going to make it wholly worthwhile, regardless, and this book was no exception. She pulls emotion out of you like no other writer. My only nitpick: she spent an overabundance of time on the romance aspect, and I just wanted to get back to the tragedy on the spaceship.
•The narration by Kristen DiMercurio & Julia Whelan was fantastically performed.
