So this book was advertised as Station Eleven meets The Martian, and I am a sucker for tales of apocalyptic disaster and survival so I was like SIGN ME UP FOR THIS. Well, two thirds of the way through the book, there had been no disaster, and there was no tale of survival. There was a lot of very well written stuff about the interior lives of three astronauts training with a simulation for a trip to Mars, and their close family members. That's it. No adventure. Just three people in a capsule, and their relationships. 
 This was a decent book, but it was mismarketed as all get out. I think other fans of Station Eleven and the Martian are probably going to be just as disappointed as I was in their expectations for this book. It's much more like women's fiction then science fiction in the end.
