annapi | 5517 comments Joan Goodwin, who has always been obssessed with stars, finally gets a chance to become an astronaut when the space shuttle program is opened to women in the 80's. We get a glimpse of the training that astronauts are put through, and the personality types that aspire to escape Earth's gravity.

This was a remarkably easy and fascinating book to read, and I plowed through it very quickly. I loved the behind-the-scenes glimpse into NASA's space program. However, I was a bit disappointed with the romance, particularly the sacrifice-love-for-your-dreams trope. I think it could have used a bit more complexity and depth. The ending was also predictable, but I wish it didn't end so abruptly, as I wanted to know what the aftermath was like. Good enough for 4 stars.
