I need to read every book Emily R. Austin writes. This was so moving, so heartbreaking, so relatable, and so unexpected. Austin really knows how to write about a modern journey with depression and self-discovery in a way I haven't seen from many authors. I loved the structure of this book and the way it unfolded in ways I didn't see coming without making me lose trust in the narrators. We could be rats!! and maybe someday we will be.

Thank you to Atria Books and Netgalley for the eARC!
