Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead by Emily R. Austin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5 stars.
This book is a lot darker and drearier than the blurb would have you believe. Dry humor isn’t usually my thing which is maybe why I didn’t find it hilarious at all. For most of the story, Gilda is depressed and not feeling her feelings which makes it hard for the reader to feel any feelings.
Despite all that, I read this book in one sitting and enjoyed each of the characters. I think this book was actually an accurate representation of what it might feel like if the main character is depressed. Most of the books make that feel like there are big negative feelings, even though it’s usually an absence of feelings. It’s just that reading a book with the main character in that state is hard to enjoy.
with gratitude to netgalley and Artia books for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
