Vk - Everyone In This Room Will Someday Be Dead

Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead Author: Emily Austin Genre: Literary fiction, dark comedy, LGBTQ+

Here’s a concise review of the book:

This novel follows Gilda, a twenty-something lesbian atheist with crippling anxiety and a habit of overthinking everything. After accidentally landing a job at a Catholic parish, she spends her time hiding her non-belief, dodging phone calls, and obsessing over death. The book is tender, funny, and painfully relatable for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by existence. Austin captures intrusive thoughts and social anxiety with remarkable honesty, while the mystery subplot (involving a missing previous employee) adds gentle momentum. everyone in this room will someday be dead vk
