Review: The Wanderers

The Wanderers by Meg Howrey
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I read about this book on the "Don't Mind the Mess" blog, which is often a good source of recommendations. This one, not so much. While I thought the premise was great - famous astronauts were spending 18 months in a simulation of a journey to Mars in preparation for an actual mission - and the characters appropriately complex and compelling, the book just didn't come together for me. I enjoyed reading about each character's back story, and I also liked reading about the "mission," training, and challenges. But I didn't really "get" the ending, or appreciate the book once I was done with it.
