Biographical Note: "Thrilling . . . heartbreaking . . . uplifting. Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel, Atmosphere, is the fast-paced, emotionally-charged story of one ambitious young woman, finding both her voice and her passion, as she fights to become one of the first female NASA astronauts in the 1980's. You'll barrel through this electric novel, rooting for the women to not only succeed in the space program, but to soar. A pitch perfect ending. I loved it." --Kristin Hannah, author of The Women"NASA? Space missions? The 80's? This is a collection of all the things I love. Great story, excellent research and accuracy, and a thrilling conclusion." --Andy Weir, author of The Martian "With Reid's signature emotional depth and cinematic storytelling, Atmosphere is a soaring tale about following your passion and finding your place among the stars." --Good Morning America " Atmosphere is a character study brimming with heart, both quietly lyrical and an action-packed nail-biter." --USA Today "An empowering and out of this world love story." --People "The reigning queen of the summer beach book." --Forbes "She builds bursting worlds, charts such specific courses of history, that at times the whole experience feels like walking through a movie . . .

Is it the author's best? The answers are yes and yes." --Book Riot "Reid makes palpable the astronauts' passion for their work and captures in vibrant detail the era's high-stakes and fast-paced shuttle program. The author's fans will find much to enjoy." --Publishers Weekly "Wildly entertaining . . . Sure to be a summer--and beyond--blockbuster." --Booklist, starred review "Her most propulsive novel . . . A heart-pounding race against the clock combined with a love story adds up to a novel that's impossible to put down." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review Publisher Marketing: They called them Crown Vic and Baby Blue... From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Atmosphere, Daisy Jones & The Six, and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo comes a daring story of two friends chasing their biggest score yet--and risking everything that binds them together. As any good hustler can tell you, every successful con works the same way: 1. Identify an unsuspecting mark and gain their trust. 2. Promise them everything they desire...and give them just enough to believe you. 3. Take the mark for everything they've got and disappear. Victoria Lucchese and Colette Wilson have been running their pool hustle for years, driving around the country and leaving overconfident men with empty wallets in their wake. The con is simple: Coco, magnetic and fearless, draws men in with her good looks and convinces them to play against her friend, Vic. Precise and unstoppable, Vic runs the table clean. Vic and Coco are the closest thing to family either one has ever had...even if they don't know each other's real names. But now it's the summer of 1974. Nixon is on the brink of impeachment, there's an oil crisis, prices are soaring, jobs are scarce, and Vic and Coco are starting to feel the squeeze. Word is spreading about two women to watch out for, and they're running out of places to hide and marks to hustle. That's when they set in motion a plan that will bring them their biggest payday yet...or cost them everything. Sharp, seductive, and electric, The Last Days of Vic & Coco is set in the sun-and-shadows world of long desert highways, seedy motels, and dive bars. It's the story of two women living by their wits, making their own rules, and traveling light. Even though they want different things from life, they swear they will stick together. But can you ever really trust the promises of a hustler? Contributor Bio:Reid, Taylor Jenkins |
