Dark Matter Book Review: What if you could see the life you didn't choose? Not as a thought experiment. Not as a wistful daydream on your commute. Actually see it — step into it, live it, realize that the version of you who made different choices is real and walking around and has everything you gave up.

Taylor Jenkins Reid has this incredible ability to make you feel like you're living inside someone else's marriage, and Atmosphere is no exception. It's set against the 1980s space shuttle program, so you've got all this NASA drama, all this ambition and history happening, but really it's about two people trying to figure out how much they're willing to sacrifice for each other. And for their dreams.
