5.0

This is honestly everything I want in a book. it’s very funny, compulsively readable, a little mysterious, well-written, features real-feeling relationships, and a paranoid woman on the brink of mental collapse—my favorite <3. It’s a book for the hypervigilant girlies who like to obsess over *~everything~* 4ever. Interesting Facts about Space also grapples with true crime (a theme lately in the media I'm consuming) and explores why people are so drawn to it, even with its moral dilemmas. I loved Emily’s previous novel, Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead. It was a five-star read for me, for its comedy and relatability. If you liked Miss Austin's first, you will love her second. This being one of my most anticipated books, it didn’t disappoint and completely lived up to the Emily Austin standard. It had me laughing and in my feelings till the end. 

Thank you Edelweiss and Atria Books for the ARC, Interesting Facts about Space comes out on January 30, 2024.
