Space facts, private fears, and family ties

Enid is comfortable discussing black holes but conceals her fear of bald men. Her routines—true-crime podcasts and dating women she meets through apps—run alongside an attempt to reconnect with her estranged half-sisters after their father’s death. When a new romantic relationship coincides with the belief that someone is following her, the novel brings Enid’s anxieties into the open and turns toward questions of self-knowledge and the shame people keep hidden. Space and true crime are part of her daily interests; the central thread is how she navigates romance, family, and growing suspicion about her own state of mind.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in fiction about a lesbian character and her romantic relationships.
  • Readers drawn to stories combining family reconnection with personal anxieties.
  • Those who enjoy fiction that includes space, true-crime podcasts, and quirky humor.

Book overview

A fast-paced, hilarious, and ultimately hopeful novel for anyone who has ever worried they might be a terrible person--from the bestselling author of Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead.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.
