Is there a popular fiction writer alive who conveys falling in love better than Taylor Jenkins Reid? ... It would all feel a little passé if it wasn’t so well told. Taylor Jenkins Reid is great at creating characters that while they fit a stereotype, exist on the page as comfortably (or awkwardly) as readers imagine they would in real life.
Reid masterfully ratchets up the tension in Atmosphere’s breathtaking final chapter, where the physical and emotional stakes couldn’t be higher, and where Earth, rather than space, may turn out to be the final frontier.
Even with the high-stakes action, the touching and surprising love story is the emotional heart of the book. A heart-pounding race against the clock combined with a love story adds up to a novel that’s impossible to put down.
