Interesting Facts About Space by Emily Austin

4.0

Really loved the portrayal of paranoia and derealization in this book. Also the coping mechanism of having something constantly playing in your ear… ironically I did that a couple years ago with Emily Austin’s other book Everyone In This Room Will Someday Be Dead. Would’ve been rated higher if it weren’t for her best friend I hated him unfortunately. He was just so bland and also creepy as hell. Love Polly and their relationship. I also loved the depiction of the mom’s mental illness it was really moving and gave a lot of insight into Enid’s mental space and past trauma in regards to her mom. I do feel like this could’ve been explored more instead of blaming everything on her dad in the end but that probably would’ve made the book way longer than it needed to be.
