adventurous hopeful lighthearted reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix

This book made me subject all of my friends to the question - what would you do if someone came up to you and said they were stuck in a time loop?? would you help them???

Very fun, sweet, charming book. Great food and a fun romance :)

 [ARC review - thank you to Atria Books for the ARC via NetGalley!]

Like all Emily Austin’s books, We Could Be Rats will make you laugh and cry and think about life from new perspectives. She understands that we are all a bit odd and deal with life’s challenges in ways that are sometimes strange and impossible to explain to other people. If you connect with the feeling of needing to escape your childhood small town this may be the book for you. 

I will happily read every book Emily Austin publishes! We Could Be Rats has many of the elements I loved about Interesting Facts About Space and Everyone In This Room Will Someday Be Dead – quirky, hilarious conversational writing and endearing characters who end up in bizarre situations while dealing with serious life and mental health challenges. 

Note you may want to read the trigger warnings before reading.
