Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead by Emily Austin

4.0

I told myself I should stop reading existential books after reading [b:They Both Die at the End|33385229|They Both Die at the End|Adam Silvera|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1494333138l/33385229._SY75_.jpg|49456196] but look at me making an ass of myself. I really liked and connected with this book. it was a funny and poignant stream of conscious type story reminiscent of books like [b:Milk Fed|54304105|Milk Fed|Melissa Broder|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1610290064l/54304105._SY75_.jpg|71284467] which I thoroughly enjoyed. It had me laughing at quotes about butts being disgusting while punching me in the gut about topics like suicide. It was a chaotic ride.



I find that I really love books like this lately. I love a stream of conscious from an apathetic main character. This hit that niche for me, and I am so happy I gave this a read from a friend's recommendation. I thought that this was going to hit a little too close to home for my anxiety, but it was cathartic toward the end. I really felt connected to Gilda and I found her story both hilarious and relieving.
