this... was a book. in fact i feel like i’ve read this book 5 times over. it’s essentially the same thing as her first book and all three novellas. the same. fucking. thing.

the weird marie curie obsession was so fucking annoying. no one cares that much about anything. they were just very oddly placed and weren’t related to the story really.

how are these people apparently soooo smart but so damn stupid. you’re telling me this woman has a phd in neuroscience but can’t conjure up the idea to ASK this dude why he treats her poorly. or is so busy interrupting him over and over and over again that she can’t hear him say he’s attracted to her. and HE is an engineer at nasa but is flabbergasted when his frankly bizarre actions toward someone he’s supposedly sexually attracted to are misconstrued. i think it was supposed to build angst but it was just downright frustrating and cringey. FUCKING. STUPIDDDDD

i’m so tired of the minuscule, child-like fmc and tall with a 2 liter coke bottle sized dick mmc trope. if you can even call it a trope. it’s just so unrealistic and borderline pedophilic.

the johnson space center is houston ADJACENT not in houston proper. so you can’t see the houston skyline from that area. that pissed me off while reading.

and now the end……. so fucking ridiculous. just plain stupid. i don’t even want to talk about it.

ALSO if i’m driving and someone EVER took off their shoes and put their bare feet on my dash, i don’t care how obsessed with them i am, i will be ramming that side of my car into the next available tree or building.
