really enjoyed this book. I do think it was maybe a slight bit too long because of unnecessary descriptions/science stuff. But altogether was very good. I really enjoyed the relationship development of Ryland and Rocky, and loved the ending of staying with Rocky and becoming a teacher again.

I will say there’s a large amount of like suspended belief here. Not because of aliens, but because of how Weir writes the world coming together to solve this problem. I think Covid, and climate change prove we just simply never would do that for each other.
