The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics

Started reading this for the romance, but stayed for the science!

Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the science aspect of this story. The way this story shed light on the fact that the discoveries and contributions of so many women in science were hidden behind the names of their male counterparts was a frustrating but important reminder. The revelation near the end was also great!

However, I found the romance aspect of this book to be somewhat lacking. I liked reading about Lucy and Catherine separately, but when they were together I didn't feel much chemistry. All the heartfelt moments between them felt forced, like I was supposed to believe that they love each other, but alas I just couldn't buy into it because there wasn't any believable chemistry. That combined with the third act that happens—as typical of many romances—left a bitter taste in my mouth because I found it jarring and unnecessary.

But this was still a solid read for sure. I'd also recommend the audiobook for this because I think the narration was done really well :)
