I devoured this. I absolutely loved this book, though I can recognize it won’t be for everyone. Those who get it, get it. And those who don’t, honestly, you’re lucky. If you have panic attacks, obsess over death, have depression or suicidal ideations, religious trauma, struggle with addiction, or feel things deeply, this may or may not be for you. I can see how it might be difficult to read, but it also might make you feel seen

As an atheist lesbian who has non-debilitating anxiety, this book brought up some stuff for me. I have already been thinking so much about death due to the ongoing genocide of Palestinians, but this book made me more anxious. But it’s also hopeful and the ending scene is perfect and the whole book reminds us that life, though fleeting, is precious

This book made me question whether I actually have anxiety. I mean I do, and some of what our MC went through was relatable, but man oh man some of it was so far beyond me. Gilda makes a million horrible, misguided choices. Then never even tries to explain herself. I both get it and don't; my personal experience with anxiety has me over explaining constantly and anxious how others perceive me (which does not help me be more clear, at all). I know everyone's journey is different, I just didn't super heavily vibe with this portrayal the way I did with, say, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.

The only characters I really liked were Eleanor and Jeff.

Oh my god I just wish you were smiling.

Now, do you ever think about how people might wish that for you?

Beautiful stream of conscious novel. You have to be in the right mindset to read this. It’s dark and funny and a little heartbreaking all at once. The ending feels a little abrupt, but it’s still a joy to read.

I really enjoyed this book and flew through it. I felt like the portrayal of anxiety/depression was very well written and relatable. I’m looking forward to reading more by this author in the future.
