Ahhh! I loved this so much, and I didn’t want it to end. Seriously, I could read about Enid’s life for 10000 more pages. As a weird, mentally ill, potentially neurodivergent lesbian, I felt so much empathy, comfort, and solidarity reading Enid’s story. There were so many heartwarming moments in this book, and I totally vibed with the offbeat humor. My sole complaint is that, based on some little details, I don’t think the age difference between Enid and her sisters really adds up. Anyway, I now NEED to read Emily Austin’s other books, pronto!

Also, this quote knocked me on my ass because of how relatable it was:

I realize I’m gay, but I don’t realize much of who I am beyond that. I feel like I’m still missing some crucial information that I need to fully form myself. I feel half-developed. I’m worried that if I were cut open, I’d see all my organs were half-made. I think I’m missing parts.
