I finished reading the #book Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I don't usually read fiction and I find most bestsellers to be uninspiring. But @researchfairy described this as having "space lesbians," so I was intrigued. I would define it loosely as Sally Ride fan-fiction, if you are into that. I think it captures the 80s Space Race rather well and the romance between the two female astronauts feels believable. As a scientist who worked for NASA in the past, I had a few small issues with the story at first, but I think it is well-researched overall. So regardless of your gender or sexuality or knowledge of the space program, I think you will find this novel enjoyable. It is both nail-biting and heartwarming in places.
