Thank you to the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book. I am not a big Sci Fi fan, but decided to give this one a chance. I do not want to give anything away so I am going to use the blurb here. Goldilocks is "The Handmaid's Tale" meets "The Martian" where five women with increasing freedoms on Earth task themselves with ensuring the survival of the human race. Definitely turned me into a Sci Fi fan.

What a fantastic scifi story! I am always a little bit skeptical, going into a book like this. The first all female space mission, in a future where Roe vs Wade has been overturned, there is a child tax starting with your second child, and women are expected to stay home with the kids. Of course they had to fight to even be considered for employment at NASA, much less be chosen for a mission.

But Laura Lam completely nailed it. Naomi was a great main character and the others were well fleshed out and believable. The science, though I am no expert, seemed credible, and never bogged down the story. I couldn't put it down, and I was sorry when it was over. The pacing was spot on, the writing was so well done, and Valerie was entirely too believable.

Very happy to have received this advance copy from Netgalley!

Following the first all-women crew of a heisted space station (I know, sounds amazing, right?), Goldilocks is told in snapshots of time both during the mission and before. Can I just say what an amazing feeling it was to read such a breath of fresh air in the Sci-Fi world? What original and imaginative pacing, with sympathetic and flawed characters that fleshed out the "sciencey" bits so well!

Thank you to Netgalley for providing an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Incredible scifi. Original, compelling, and smartly written. Read it in two days because I could not stop reading. Make this one into a movie!!

This is my first time reading something by this author, but once I saw the cover and read the blurb I was hooked.

This book was impressive, albeit somewhat scary of how plausible it could be years in the future. It took current events, such as the attempts to overturn Roe vs Wade and ran with it, creating a very believable scenario, which left me contemplating the issues it raises long after I turned the last page. I enjoy a book that really makes you think, and on that this delivered.

I flew through the book, the characters, backstory and world combining to pull me in and keep me flipping the pages. It was really well paced and just the right length.

There were a few small spelling errors, but hopefully those will be found and cleaned up before the final release.

Wow, what a great read! Is be really interested in a follow up or parallel book. Definitely going to look into other book by their writer.
