I really thought this would be a high 3 at best, but after ruminating on it I feel like it should be a 4 even if just barely.
This book had no "plot" in the sense that there was no main thread to follow. It was, rather, a handful of smaller threads that despite being small were enjoyable. I do not like cozy literature, nor do I like "sad people thinking" books. Despite this, Emily Austin had me wrapped in.
I liked all the characters, I liked the small plots. I didn't get bored and I didn't feel like my time was wasted. It is the best example I've read of a good "sad girl cozy etc etc." and some of it was even relatable.
I do critique that it feels similar to her prior work, specifically in that the MC's of both could be more or less swapped, but that may say more about Austin's personal influence on them.

Interesting facts about space follows the story of Enid, a space fanatic who is also a true-crime podcast lover. In the story we see how Enid's childhood, her disability and high school bullying contributed to her mental health challenges as a adult.
Emily Austin has a way with words, i felt Enid's emotions and when Enid was crying I had tears in my eyes too!!! A brilliant novel that explores the need to express and feel loved and to be understood.
I absolutely loved this book.

THIS WAS A SURPRISING READ. THE BEGINNING I WAS A BUT LOST ON THE PREMISE WITH A BIT OF TOSSING INTO THE DEEP END BUT THE WRITING CARRIED ME THROUGH. WOW IS THE WRITING GOOD. ENID IS SUCH A COMPLEX CHARACTER THAT IS HARD TO LOVE BUT YOU LEARN WITH A BIG TWIST WHY SHE IS WHO SHE IS. INTRIGUING STORY BUT ADDICTING.
