Interesting Facts About Space by Emily Austin

5.0

I wasn’t expecting to actually learn any facts about space while reading this book but I did and they were all very interesting! I did expect Interesting Facts About Space to be amazing though and of course I was correct because Emily Austin is a precious gem and all of her books are perfect. 

 

She has this amazing way of writing characters that makes it possible for me to find myself in them and relate so deeply that it’s almost painful. This time, it was Enid’s and her relationship (or lack there of) with her father that got me the most. Enid’s struggles with her feelings surrounding his absence in her life so closely mirrored my own as I grew up. Like damn, Emily, why did you target me specifically and punch me right in the heart? 

 

It wasn’t all me being punched in the heart though. I laughed way more than I got heart-punched. I probably averaged one laugh per page, which is like 300 laughs. That sounds like a lot, actually. But even if it was one laugh every other page, that’s around 150 laughs. An excellent amount of laughs for a book that also heart-punched me and made me cry.
