I read first “Everyone in This Room Will Someday be Dead,” by Emily Austin and have just made it to this book. I really enjoyed it! We follow the story of Enid (in first person, which works for me here because she is a character that is so in her head that it’s good we get to be, too. Overcoming her crippling fears and understanding traumas she’s packed away, we get to see some true character development and progress throughout the novel. I appreciated a more upbeat and positive ending, as I find myself often reading dark, hopeless novels, although the end of this did tie up extremely neatly. While usually a quality I don’t love, it worked for me here.
