wow i didnt expect to love it so much! it was equal parts hilaripus and thought provoking (but strangely not mortal anxiety provoking) and some quotes are such bangers. like she knew god existed and hated her personally? the part of not believing that we have to luve until as long as possible?? pffff such a refreshing funky dark read! also the most chill book ive ever read related to suicidal thoughts

I liked the protagonist, but I wasn’t very hooked on the plot. The resolution of the mystery felt unsatisfying. However, I can absolutely see this being someone’s favorite book. The perspective of the protagonist accurately describes the thoughts of an extremely anxious and depressed woman. As one myself, I can confirm. I’d recommend it to fans of Kathleen Glasgow and Turtles All the Way Down.

This was a difficult read. Surprisingly triggering and upsetting, but in a good way. The author perfectly encapsulated depression in such a vivid way that it hurt. I was aching, especially near the end. I was so terrified of it ending horribly and taking my heart in the process. 

It ended well. I don't buy that the police would let her go if they found the suicide note- but after the panic attack I got, expecting Gilda to be put in prison and dying by her own hand in desperation, I'm glad it didn't end that way. I don't think I could have handled it.. I got so attached to her. I wish I could help her. I wish she would let others help her. I'd like to think she found a support system and got better, instead of just slumping back into the bad place she was in and shutting everyone out. I hope Eli is okay, and that if he came out as trans, that things went well and the drinking stopped. This book was heavy, aggressively sad, and it stood out. I related so much to so many little things she mentioned. It's always the little things. On a happier note, it taught me a few things I didn't know, especially about the Catholic church. Those parts were interesting. I'll remember this for quite a while
