Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead
by Emily Austin
emotional
sad
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Loveable characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
This book destroyed me. It made me laugh out loud and it also made me ugly cry a lot. I have never related to a character this much. She just like me fr!! The debilitating empathy, the intrusive and overwhelming knowledge of mortality starting way too young, like what the fuck
"I don't really owe anyone anything. I am an animal, brought into existence without my consent, left scrounging to get by."
"It's easy for me to accept that I am a bacterial, or a parasite, or cancer. It's easy for me to accept that my life is trivial, and that I am a speck of dust. It is hard for me to accept that for the people around me, however. It's hard for me to accept that my brother's life doesn't matter, or that old women who die don't matter, or even that rabbits or cats don't matter. I feel simultaneously intensely insignificant and hyperaware of how important everyone is."
