Orbital by Samantha Harvey

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


This was literally one of the more boring things I have read in a long time, completely over-hyped. It follows 6 astronauts orbiting the earth for a day (16 orbits). I can't even remember their names because that's how uninterested in this I was. I read it only because it fit a challenge for Popsugar. I would have DNFed it otherwise. Love things about space and astronauts but them musing about their lives for a day? Yeah not so much.

Not even the astronaut who lost their mother while they were in orbit on this day made it interesting. It was so detached from grief that I didn't find it believable. At least it was short.
