Interesting Facts About Space
A warm, witty and wise novel for anyone who has ever worried that they might be a terrible person, from the author of Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead.
Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! DescriptionEnid is a complex and captivating character: a lesbian navigating her first serious relationship, a serial dater, and deaf in one ear. Enid is also a space obsessive, true crime fanatic, and someone with a phobia of bald people. Life is a juggle for her, filled with managing her anxiety and making peace with her mortifying teenage years—an especially daunting task since she has lost the password to her old YouTube account, where numerous vlogs of her teenage self remain.
When she's not engrossed in grizzly murder podcasts, Enid's thoughts drift between her depressive mother, the absurdity of gender reveal parties, and the mounting suspicion that something is seriously amiss. Is someone really following her, or is it just her paranoia spiralling out of control? Enid's life gets even more complicated as she reconnects with her estranged half-sisters and strives to find her place in a restructured family dynamic.
Interesting Facts About Space by Emily Austin is not just a book about quirky interests and fears. Enid's journey is full of charm, humour, and heart as she stumbles through her attempts to connect with others while grappling with her own insecurities. With every page, readers will find themselves drawn into a story that speaks to the strange and unique ways we seek connection and the transformative power of sharing our secret selves with those we love.
The book deftly balances moments of laugh-out-loud humour with poignant reflections on family, identity, and the universal quest for belonging. It is a pitch-perfect exploration of human relationships, all wrapped up in a narrative that is both deeply engaging and relatable.
