Publisher's summary
Seventeen-year-old Eleanor is nothing like her hero Eleanor Roosevelt. She is timid and all together uncertain that she has much to offer the world. And as World War II rages overseas, Eleanor is consumed with worry for her Jewish relatives in Europe. When a chance encounter proves her to be a one-in-a-generation math whiz—a fact she has worked hard all her life to hide—Eleanor gets recruited by the US Army and entrusted with the ultimate challenge: to fine-tune a top-secret weapon that will help America defeat its enemies in World War II and secure the world's freedom. This could be her chance to help save her family in Poland.
Soon, she's swept from the basement of an Ivy League engineering school, to the desert of California, to an Army Air Corps base at Pearl Harbor, and finally she takes to the skies above the South Pacific.
But before she can solve this complicated problem, she must learn to unlock a bigger mystery: herself.
Critically acclaimed author of The Poetry of Secrets, Cambria Gordon weaves an extraordinary story of remarkable courage and the will to unearth our deepest secrets, based on previously undiscovered true events.

Story
Temple Baker knows that evil runs in her blood. Her father is the North Point Killer, an infamous serial killer known for branding his victims. He was the talk of countless true crime blogs for years. Some say he was possessed by a demon. Some say they never found all his victims.

Story
Alice is on her own for the first time. She has no coach. No friends. Not even clothes that meet the Bastille Invitational’s strict dress code. There’s only the steady drumbeat of guilt inside—pressure to make the tournament’s costly expense “worth it” in the wake of Ba’s unexpected passing. But will a win on court justify the price she paid to get here?

Story
There are infinite universes in which Elise never dies. Her best friend, Anna, never has to mourn her or choose between the weight of her grief and the weight of her ambition. Her cousin, Liam, never has to lose another loved one or fight to find purpose in a life that already doesn’t feel like his own. But Liam and Anna do not get to choose the universe in which they live. Across multiple worlds, their paths collide as they wrestle with what it takes to save someone else and how to face love and loss on a quantum scale.

Spectacular!!!
Weaving together, elements of history, science and human emotion trajectory holds particular significance for women offering reflection on the enduring struggle for recognition and equality in male- dominated fields. Through Eleanor‘s journey of self discovery and resilience, Gordon delivers a powerful message of empowerment, inspiring readers of all genders to embrace their passions and pursue their dreams with unwavering determination. At the center of Trajectory is Eleanor a girl who loves math, but has kept her talent hidden, but when she is recruited for the war effort, she leans into it and realizes what a difference she can make in the world. Trajectory is an entertaining book with a beautiful love story and many important themes. I couldn’t put it down!!!

Reading might have been better
I might have liked this book better if I had read it. The narrator was awful in my opinion. She made Eleanor sound like a twelve year old. Too much mathematics to hold interest in the personal stories of the characters. I will be curious to hear what the other book club members thought when we discuss it soon.
