I love books on the shorter side, but this one could’ve benefitted from an extra chapter or two devoted to that plot point in particular.Īnyway! I feel like this one was fairly polarizing after taking a glance at Goodreads - have you read it? And do you have thoughts? □ Also, regardless of your opinion on the story, how amazing is its cover?! I’m obsessed, to be honest. What I didn’t like was how thinly her relationship with James, a fellow astronaut (and Mr. As she grows up, she proves to be the only hope for finding a missing team of astronauts, and…well I won’t spoil the good stuff.Īs a narrator, June’s voice had a detached way about it, which I actually think suited the story perfectly. It centers on June, an ambitious, antisocial pre-teen engineering genius living in a dystopian(ish) future where kids enroll in a space-training program started by June’s late uncle. In addition to Jane Eyre, Kate Hope Day’s In the Quick has shades of The Martian and Station Eleven throughout the story, which I found really compelling. And although I ended up not completely over the moon, it was still pretty stellar (ok I’ll stop with the space puns now)(MAYBE). Jane Eyre in space! Jane Eyre in space! Honestly that’s all I needed to know before slamming ‘add to cart’ on this one. GOOD MORNING AMERICA BUZZ PICK - A young, ambitious female astronauts life is upended by a love.
