Interesting Facts About Space
by Emily Austin
What a fantastic voice in this book. Enid's tone is relatable and entertaining, so frequently funny while being so frequently sad. She struggles with people and dating and trauma and rehearses her social conversations like she's an actor in a play, passing as more typical with "fake it till you make it" energy, while between the lines we see how her attempts to fit in sometimes work and sometimes make things worse. Her hyperawareness of how she's presenting is tied to her hypervigilance in other areas of her life, to the obsessions she's developed. Some help her cope--like facts about space--and some get in her way.
It's a very tender and thought-provoking portrait with so much depth in Enid and in the surrounding characters. Enid's uncertain perceptions and paranoia also keep the pages turning as you try to piece together what happened in her past, and how she will go into the future.
