I liked the main portion of the book but it is a very simplistic plot overall. The antagonists are 1D and very much “evil for the sake of it”.  Also, the end fell a tad flat for the following reasons:

  I think the idea that she gives up NASA while they are having sex (a time big decisions are not to be made) really undercuts all her passion for this job she’s been working towards for 7+ years. I get it, she loves him and we know he loves her too which is what saves it a bit, but I think it’d have been better if they mated and he let her go and she came back because she PREFERS being with him after all and then the WFH option would be a cherry on top. Plus never would NASA participate in a proposal plot lmao I think just a random “space video” would have been a better choice.
