Super quick recommendation:

The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal.

I gobbled it up, cover to cover, in about 6 hours. It has everything: space, women being awesome, a lovely and supportive marriage, friendships, a historical setting with a twist, bits that make me cry, bits that make me cheer (internally), a moment where I said out loud "EAT SHIT" to the surprise of my spouse who was watching TV at the time, characters of color, Jewish characters, people learning to be compassionate to each other and support each other, solidarity, a great plot, characters who like math, and SPAAAAAAACE.

This book is GREAT and I'm glad I had time to read it. It has sequels too.

I attempt a more coherent recommendation soon but suffice to say YES go check out THE CALCULATING STARS by MARY ROBINETTE KOWAL

If it’s called “Pennsylvania” because it was founded by William Penn, then I‘m like 100% sure Dracula was trans.
