Austin's debut novel is truly incredible: the main character, though frustrating and depressing it also in so many ways endearing, perhaps most so because she is so relatable. I also didn’t mind the takedown of the Catholic Church, though it should be said that Austin doesn’t hit below the belt and say anything too barbaric. Everyone in This Room Will Someday be Dead hits that sweet spot: a fun, page-turner of a novel that engages both heart and head.As you can tell, a lot is going on with Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead to varying degrees of success. She gets the position without anything in the way of someone looking at her CV or examining her personal history — she’s hired solely because she’s young and, it is thus assumed, knows a thing or two about computers and the Interwebs.

She's too depressed to wash herself or the dishes, she often forgets to reply to her maybe girlfriend and seems painfully unaware of the world around her.I think that Emily Austin did a decent job of portraying a woman struggling from social anxiety, intrusive thoughts about death, and relationships where she doesn’t open up to people. Sadly Everyone in This Room Will Someday be Dead doesn't bring anything new to the directionless-young-woman-spends-all-her-time-navel-gazing-under-the-torpor-of-ennui subgenre. For fans of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Halle Butler, this is a darkly funny, surprisingly tender, and weirdly charming coming-of-age novel about a young woman with so much anxiety she'd rather lie than risk hurting anyone's feelings.

Gilda is a twenty-something atheist lesbian, who struggles with hypochondria, anxiety and depression. Turn to any page in this lovely debut and you'll meet a tsunami of joy - ANDREW DAVID MACDONALD, author of When We Were Vikings You may also be interested in.
