Dnf'ing at 82 pages. Middle-aged men writing about teenage girls tends to gack me out. Even with writers who are otherwise favorites of mine. The girl, age 18, is the viewpoint character. By page 25, she's talked about how periods work in space and taken a naked shower with other girls. And bemoaned the lack of makeup in space. Around page 70 (after we've heard how she's kind of technically a virgin, or not, and the cringeworthy details), she has sex with the captain, who's at least 10 years older. And her mother approves. Just. No.
