***THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER***

An epic novel set against the backdrop of the 1980s space shuttle program about the extraordinary lengths we go to live and love beyond our limits.

In the summer of 1980, Joan Goodwin begins training to be an astronaut at Houston's Johnson Space Centre, alongside an exceptional group of fellow candidates. As the new astronauts prepare for their first flights, Joan finds a passion and a love she never imagined and begins to question everything she believes about her place in the observable universe. Then, in December of 1984, on mission STS-LR9, everything changes in an instant.

Atmosphere is a soaring story about the transformative power of love - this time among the stars.

Critic Reviews

Tipped as the read of the summer
A richly drawn page-turner ... It would take a stony reader to turn away from its pleasures ... Melding action thriller emergency with star-crossed romance ... I'd be lying if I said my eyes weren't wet by the end
Quite possibly our favourite TJR novel yet ... Even if you're not a big space fan, you can't help but fall for this cosmic tale
A breathtaking, quietly staggering tale of female empowerment, desire, and our place in the universe
Is there a popular fiction writer alive who conveys falling in love better than Taylor Jenkins Reid?
You'll see this one on every sun lounger this summer
An ambitious novel that explores human limitation, sacrifice and the essence of love itself
Takes you on a journey to show the lengths we go to for love. Sure to be a must-read
Atmosphere is at once epic and intimate, heart-wrenching and hopeful. It's an escapist novel of the best kind with a final few pages that will leave you utterly breathless
Moving, pacey and a read that will stick with you
All stars

What on earth was that end!!! I am so bummed about not having an epilogue. Dear Taylor Jenkins Reid, you have deprived your readers with a sweet epilogue specially after the roller coaster that you took us through. I needed more of Vanessa and Jo’s meet up after that death scare. I am sure there would be many others who probably felt the same way.

Venessa and Jo, favourite characters in the whole book for sure. Still hanging onto how it ended and going to take my sweet time to process.

A very good book to read with an amazing story.

This book was more than i expected it to be.. i read half of the book on my kindle and the other half i listened from audiobook. Listening to the characters made me feel too attached to them. I loved the book and the ending was soo emotional that i cried to the end i defintely recommend. Listen to the audiobook for a greater experience of this book. The narration is just awesome and loved every bit of it.

Loved it!! What an emotional rollercoaster..

Really wanted to love this cos it starred women in science but somehow the characters didn’t compel or convince me. Everyone felt a bit contrived and unrealistic. And the dialogues were so corny that I didn’t even feel devastated or sad like I think i was supposed to.

Corny, but it might just be me
