I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!! 

- Sometimes the best lesbian romance novels aren't marketed as romances at all
- I love Enid so much
- I now understand why people have "book boyfriends" because Enid is my book girlfriend
- I can also fix her
- Autistic lesbian representation is always a welcome plus

None of these things actually happen to Enid-- she's just a true crime junkie.

I loved this book so much. Enid is a vivid, authentic character that bundles her quirks, flaws, desires and fears together in a beautifully authentic way. The cast of characters are all unique and feel very real, and the writing style has this clipped, frank style that really suits Enid’s POV. The plot does hinge on miscommunication tropes, but it works with the relationships in the story. There are some unexpectedly chilling and creepy moments that make this a real page-turner. This story will stay with me for a while.

I related to Enid more than I would like to admit. This was spectacularly written and I really enjoyed the pace and writing style. I will definitely be coming back to this one again.

This book wasn't quite what I expected, but I liked the book that I got more than the one that I imagined it would be! The characters are weird and honest. The writing does a great job of humanizing all these characters and grounding the story in real-life drama. I related more to Enid than I thought I would and I felt understood and like I have more power than I think, just like Enid.

Good book but I need to play closer attention to content warnings. 

Lots of interesting facts about space but also lots of yuck facts about serial killers.
