I wish I could have one nice interaction with everyone and then disappear.

a gorgeous story that feels like a warm blanket. it’s not for everyone, and you need to be in the right mindset, but it’s so beautiful. the audiobook is definitely one to check out.

4.0

No plot just vibes. The main character, Enid, is relatable, especially to anyone who grew up neurodivergent and was written off as being "quirky" or "weird." I really enjoyed the different relationship dynamics between Enid and the people in her life (her mother, Vin, her sisters, Poppy). It was refreshing to read a book that has queer & disability representation, and I enjoyed how the author handled the topic of mental health. An enjoyable read overall, just didn't have that five star feeling, hence me rating it 4 stars.

This short yet poignant novel by Emily Austin reveals the trials and tribulations of family dynamics, along with the complexity of mental illness

Enid, the protagonist of INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT SPACE, is the kooky neurodivergent mess I need for comfort. I loved seeing her go through her life as a lesbian who can’t be bothered by men (unless they’re bald)

What impacted me the most was the mother-daughter dynamic. Enid’s mom goes through a rollercoaster of emotions as she struggles with her depression. My dad and I used to have a similar relationship with the roles reversed

I felt very seen in this book. It was hilarious, and I even got emotional enough to nearly cry once as well. Great job to Emily Austin!
