I am so floored at how this book sucked me in. It was relatable, intriguing, and heartbreaking while not being too dark to put down. There was always a small lightness to bring you back to earth. 
I’ve absolutely spiraled like Enid, and my love for true crime also challenges my morality for liking it. 
I hope your mom is wearing lipstick.

Enid might be one of my fave book characters of all time. She’s quirky, obviously knows a lot of interesting facts about space, and to top it all off, she’s queer, deaf in one ear, and has a phobia of bald men and has no idea where it came from. 

The story follows Enid as she figures out her childhood trauma, leans into her friendships and dating life, and finally goes to therapy to get her shit straight. 

My only qualm is how quickly Enid experiences personal growth - it felt slightly rushed in the ending, but I found myself cheering for her as she found her voice.

Lots of trigger warnings, so check the label before reading.
