Books I Make My Husband Read

S3E2 - Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid

16 Sep 2025

Description

Kristy and Jon dive into Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, a sweeping novel set in NASA’s 1980s shuttle program. They unpack Joan Goodwin’s path from professor to astronaut, the heartbreaking tension of mission STS-LR9, and the slow-burn love story that had them publicly sobbing by the pool. With laughs, tears, and plenty of side-eye for Barbara, they explore ambition, sacrifice, and what it means to find love among the stars.LinksOfficial author website: (https://taylorjenkinsreid.com/)Atmosphere: (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/220817728-atmosphere)Taylor Jenkins Reid on Goodreads: (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/6572605.Taylor_Jenkins_Reid)Chapters(04:23) - Jon's review (06:26) - Kristy's review (07:51) - The storytelling (10:54) - Cast of characters (15:17) - More than friendship (17:56) - Thoughts on the love story (21:17) - NASA program (25:27) - Barbara, Barbara, Barbara (28:05) - Space vs Earth (30:48) - A romance exposed (34:51) - No one left behind (39:06) - THe ending (44:56) - The ending being the ending (48:25) - Wanna go to space, puppy?
