I really wanted to like this, but it was just meh. I can see what the author was going for, but it was too much for me. "Was it just this morning that we talked about making the station look like a farmhouse? Pietro says. It feels either two months ago or otherwise five years." And that's how I felt reading this book. Like it had been five years since I started it and I just wanted it to be over.  So many long, drawn out descriptions of the same things over and over again. So many lists. SO MANY run on sentences. It seemed like the author was trying too hard. I really enjoyed the thoughts of the astronauts and the interactions between them. If there had been more of that and less of the author's ramblings, I may have enjoyed it.
