Atmosphere: A Love Story | Taylor Jenkins Reid

If it didn't have the ending it did, it would've been a so-so read. Space exploration and NASA just don't do it for me, so my attention kept wondering. But I did love that ending.

Gossipy, a little crime solving, and forced family fun--everything a summer read should be. Not a bad way to spend reading time.

That was a slog of a read. I just wanted it to be over. It honestly felt like nothing more than an introduction to new characters for his next book. Which would be cool.

It's a dreary day--perfect for reading!!! Another #BlameItOnLitsy read

bookandbedandtea So dreary! I'm refusing to complain about the rain since we get so little of it but I'm hoping we'll see the sun again tomorrow... I'm not used to going without it for 3 days. 🙃 Enjoy the perfect reading weather! 3w
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea It's NY weather 😝 However, it does lend itself to good reading and bookshelf rearranging time. But, yeah, I want the sun back!! 3w

The story of friendship will stay with me because it was that good. But the writing was off. I didn't care for the dual timeline because the present parts were boring and flat and felt like they were written by someone else. The ending dragged and I just couldn't wait for it to be over. So disappointing.

35/80

CSeydel Oh no! I‘m sorry to hear that. Disappointing! 4w
marleed Oh dang. It‘s always fascinating to read when a book hits differently for someone else than it did for me! 4w
TheBookgeekFrau @marleed Lol it is. I thought the same when I saw you gave five stars. I was so disappointed with the writing. I love his his style of story telling, but it was barely present in this book. It's like his heart wasn't in it. 4w

TheBookgeekFrau @tpixie They are! Classic Backman 💞 (It's the rest of the book that I'm having trouble with though. It doesn't feel classic Backman) 1mo
tpixie @TheBookgeekFrau interesting. Apparently he had to rewrite most of it because the original draft was really dark and the two timeline thing is new. 4w
TheBookgeekFrau @tpixie Ahhhhhh, makes a lot of sense! Thanks for sharing that 😊 I would've preferred it without two timelines 4w
tpixie @TheBookgeekFrau I‘m tired of the two timeline tripe also. I still haven‘t read this book yet, but it seems like every historical fiction book has to have two timelines. 4w
TheBookgeekFrau @tpixie I usually don't mind a dual timeline. But it was just annoying in this book. I don't want to say more than that since you haven't read it. 4w
tpixie @TheBookgeekFrau I‘ll get back to you later on it! 4w
