Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid Made Me Feel Everything

Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid Made Me Feel Everything

I almost didn’t read *Atmosphere*.

I actually started a completely different book, DNF’d it, and picked up Taylor Jenkins Reid’s latest on a whim.

Then I sobbed. Repeatedly.

What I expected to be a story about astronauts, NASA, and an ’80s space program turned into one of the most unexpectedly emotional reading experiences I’ve had in a long time.

So, was the hype finally right?

I’ve shared my full review, including what worked, what surprised me, and why this book made me want to pay much closer attention to the life I’m actually living.

Project Hail Mary Review: Is Andy Weir’s Biggest Hit Worth the Hype?

I finally read the book that seemed to be everywhere: Project Hail Mary.

With a 4.5+ average on Goodreads and StoryGraph, a huge movie adaptation on the horizon, and plenty of enthusiastic recommendations, I had some pretty high expectations.

So… did Andy Weir’s space adventure live up to the hype?

My answer is a little more complicated than yes or no. I’m sharing what worked for me, what fell flat, and how the experience reminded me why sometimes we need to read a book for ourselves rather than for everyone else’s expectations.
