❤️ loved this book because...
Books are about people, not necessarily about plots. Could anyone have done what this person did? Not necessarily, because not everyone was this one character.
I love science fiction stories which centre around the experience of one person. I want to see the world through their eyes, and I want it to be an authentic experience with faults and mistakes and messiness. Artemis brings me into her experience and this story could only happen with her at the centre, messiness and all. I learned about moon-living through Artemis' life, and without the impossible download of so much information.
Some say men can't write female characters. They can, if they see that females are people too. Andy Weir seems to know this and delivers with Artemis.

Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity’s first and only lunar colony. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Rich enough to pay off a debt she’s owed for a long time.
So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can’t say no.…
