Status Updates From One Giant Leap

back to my roots 😌

<< My only niggle is after the pining crescendo that culminated into a very satisfying first meeting… It felt shortlived. Everything after felt like a rushed comedown. I wanted the tension from their long wait to manifest into physical release. I wanted to see them navigate awkwardness of Patrick reconciling the celebrity with the real man, and Curt reconciling the kid in his head with reality. Sequel? — 4❤️

I absolutely devoured this book. Love in space is my new favourite microtrope.

Both characters were funny and interesting and the slow burn build up was realistic and deliciously piny. Despite the slow burn, there was no miscommunication (apart from a healthy amount due to self doubt and physical distance) that kept them apart. Once decided, the confessions were genuine and open and honestly very hot. >>

Ok, I take back what I said about Lakshmi. She's solid.

Don't you dare Whitefang that sweet man!

The dialogue in this is adorable. Books like this set my brain to rights.

MC: OMG!
L: She's fine.

Starts call with:
L; We need your help
MC: HOLY SHIT, DID A ROCKET BLOW UP???
L: I need you to take command since [person before] had a stroke.

i have an unhealthy attachment to these MCs and now i don’t want to finish the book.

Patrick drunk calling Curt IN space.

Sigh. Romance novels. Raising the bar since the 1700s.
