Readers love Interesting Facts About Space...

'Loved it. For as long as Emily Austin is writing books I'm reading them'

'Emily Austin, I'm going to politely ask you to stop writing characters I relate to so viscerally'

'I will never get over this book. Ever'

'This book made me feel incredibly seen'

'So full of heart and kindness and honesty'

'To all the Enids out there, this is for us, and I hope it brings you comfort like it did me'

'Will remain imprinted on my brain forever'

Enid is many things: anxious, serial dater, space obsessive.

As she fumbles her way through her first serious relationship, she starts to worry someone is following her. As her paranoia spirals out of control, Enid must contend with her mounting suspicion that something is seriously wrong with her...

Full of charm, humour and heart, Interesting Facts About Space explores the strange ways we try to connect with others, and the power of sharing our secret selves with the people we love.
