Jim Brown reviewed Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
a future Netflix movie, I assume
I avoided this book for quite some time given the Good Morning America sticker. I think what I was suspecting ended up being true. The beginning of the book is decent (especially the discussion of the space shuttle - appreciated by this Gen Xer), and I also appreciate that it offers a queer love story (especially given that I listened to it with a queer teen). However, the melodrama ends up overtaking everything, and the characters' one dimensionality limits what was maybe possible.
