Thank you to the author. I'm not a science minded person nor a science geek, especially about astronomy so I was sort of interested in reading this book for this reason I guess. I have to admit that it was a lot more than I wanted to know about some things and skipped over a chunk of pages.

Henry met Isabel through his brother and sister-in-law. Henry was a geek/nerd and writer. I liked Isabel most of the time and she had a troubled daughter Lauren. Just when Isabel and Henry were taking a "vacation" to the desert to Chile (him for an interview for some science thing) and for her to wind down from her hectic law firm job, her daughter's rehab closes down and Isabel doesn't know what to do. Lauren doesn't even know about Henry.

In the end, it works out fine and Henry and Lauren get to know each other on the road trip. What happens in Chile, it changes things, good for Henry and Lauren but unfortunately not for Isabel, who's stuck in the hotel getting over an illness, due to the altitude. Lauren and Henry continue on where their bond even gets stronger.… (mer)
