Overal Rating:
Enid is obsessed with space. She can tell you all about black holes and their ability to spaghettify you without batting an eye in fear. Her one major phobia? Bald men. But she tries to keep that one under wraps. When she’s not listening to her favorite true crime podcasts on a loop, she’s serially dating a rotation of women from dating apps. At the same time, she’s trying to forge a new relationship with her estranged half-sisters after the death of her absent father. When she unwittingly plunges into her first serious romantic entanglement, Enid starts to believe that 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. Because at the end of the day there’s only one person she can’t outrun—herself.
Brimming with quirky humor, charm, and heart, Interesting Facts about Space effortlessly shows us the power of revealing our secret shames, the most beautifully human parts of us all.
This is my favorite Emily Austin book to date. Enid is an incredibly complex and relatable character. Her existence is divided between dysfunctional dates, paranoia, and the facts about space she tells her mother on the phone when what she really wants to say is that she loves her.
This is a tale of trauma, anxiety, and self-discovery. I loved everything about it, from beginning to end.
I love when authors present us with deeply human and imperfect characters, queer, neurodivergent, and with messed-up lives. It was about time that minorities were more present in literature. I really wanted to read about people like me, and this is why I love Emily Austin’s books so much. I’m on a quest to read everything she has published.

My name is Elena. Since I was a little child I loved science fiction and fantasy, and I can’t resist a good novel. In 2015, while wait I started to listen to audiobooks and I discovered the pleasure in being able to read while doing my daily tasks, so there’s always an audiobook playing on my phone. If you see me with my Bluetooth headphones on, please be gentle, I get easily startled.
I live with my boyfriend, which I met during my six-year stay in Belgium, four cockatiels, eight lovebirds, and a hamster in Madrid, Spain; and I like to spend my free time knitting and sewing while listening to audiobooks.
