emily austin does it again!

i loved, loved, loved everyone in this room will someday be dead, and this book scratched the exact same itch. enid is a lovable, relatable, wonderful protagonist, and watching her grow, spiral, learn about herself, and go through the ups and downs of being a person was really, genuinely great. there was just enough plot to keep me wondering what would happen next, too; it wasn’t the focus of the story by any means, but it was a really interesting (and sometimes funny, and sometimes heart-wrenching, some sometimes thrilling) hook. the romance with polly was also excellent!! i loved how weird-but-right she and enid were together, and desperately need more freakish (affectionate) lesbians like the two of them in my books.
