An absolute masterpiece once again from Emily Austin. Please rush out and snag this when it’s released later this month because she just understands what it’s like to be so in your head all the time and how to overcome it. This book is laugh out loud funny - seriously I was guffawing - and also so touching that I had tears in my eyes. A new favorite for me for sure!!

This ended up being sooooooo much better than I initially expected. At first, not much at all happened. Our main character, Enid, went to work, went on a couple of dates, talked to her mom on the phone—all very ordinary happenings. I kept reading, though, because I began to enjoy watching Enid develop relationships with others. Also, it was one of my Book of the Month selections (iykyk 😅). At one point, Enid found herself regularly seeing a therapist, and this reader and Enid simultaneously gained an answer to the question ‘Who is Enid?’ While there was a plot to the story, the main focus of this novel was character development. I’m so glad I didn’t give up!

Side note: I loved Polly. I mean, she called a stranger a bitch to her face. What’s not to love?
