Atmosphere

Wish I could give it more than 5 stars. Holy shit. Just fucking holy shit. The audiobook is damn near perfect. Maybe perfect. Julia Whelan and Kristen DiMercurio were fantastic narrators for this story. OMG my emotions are just all over the place right now. I think much of my connection with these women is that my wife and I were in the Marines during the mid 80s-early 90s and so much of what Joan and Vanessa had to deal with, we did too. It all hit very close to home. I mean, we didn't belong to NASA but we worried every day about our appearance and how others perceived our relationship. Joan and Vanessa were very familiar to us and it wasn't hard to put ourselves in their place. I hope my wife eventually reads this book. Although I've told her a lot about it, I've not spoiled anything. This is my third book by the author and it is, without a doubt, my absolute favorite. Definitely going to have a book hangover for a while. Fuck.
