Everyone In This Room Will Someday Be Dead by Emily Austin

dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

Flew through this book, despite it making me feel incredibly on edge and anxious for much of it. Definitely heed the CWs, but this book is masterfully written, engrossing, and raw. The balance between bleakness and hope was beautifully struck.
