This was such a fun story! I liked that this is told as journal entries by Emily. Her thought process while putting the encyclopedia together is so fun and lighthearted. I loved the dry humor and mundane work. Wendell being Emily’s opposite was a nice change. Usually FMC are the bright, happy, bubbly ones and the MMC is grumpy. I liked the swap of dynamics. I don’t think Emily is necessarily grumpy. She’s just very particular and structured. I related a lot to her.
