I won this book from a Library Thing Early Reviewers giveaway. I was excited to read it because I’ve read and enjoyed other books about the Manhattan Project at Oak Ridge. Unfortunately, I didn’t love this book the way I’d hoped I would. I think my expectations may have been too high. The other books I’d read had a lot more detail about the project itself and what it entailed, and I found that part of the stories fascinating. This book just skimmed the surface of the project. I also felt that the characters were not well-developed.The cover bills the book as ‘A Novel of Atomic Heartbreak’ but I did not feel the heartbreak. I also knew from the synopsis that the main character was going to make some bad choices, but when she did, I did not feel WHY she made the choices. And I thought the repercussions from her choices were resolved too easily. It all felt superficial. The story could have ended a few chapters earlier. The last few chapters didn’t really add anything to the story. This is not a terrible book. It was a quick, easy read. It just didn’t grab me that way I expected. Maybe your experience with the book will be different.
