Emily Austin has done it again! I’m simply a sucker for her main characters, intensely relatable and awkward and fumbling for closeness with the people around them. This felt very similar to Everyone In This Room Will Someday Be Dead, which sometimes felt like I was just reading a different version of the same book, but I do think there was enough here to keep me reading for more. Enid’s relationship with her mother was the real stand out of this book, I loved how interesting facts about space were other words for love. Austin is an auto-buy author for me, crafting wonderfully weird characters that I see myself in and feel so moved by.
