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.

Okay, so I skim or preferably avoid blurbs with books as I think they tend to reveal too much or make room for wrong impressions. A spoiler further down will explain more…
Anyway, I thought the writing was easily digestible, had a good flow to it. I wouldn’t say it’s a funny-haha kind of book, but there’s some lighthearted humour in there along with more morbid/dark/profound parts.
The main character seems at the height of experiencing (relatable, speaking for myself) anxiety-ridden human emotions. She has got herself to a bit of a point of no return. And told in paragraphs sort of a vignette-y style where we learn about family relationships for example. That she comes from a family where everything has to seem picture perfect-surface level. And she is experiencing the consequences of being completely dismissed in who she fully is and having her emotions invalidated.

I was surprised when the police wanted to question Gilda. Thought at first it was her imagination so it was a bit far out to me initially, but I was really glad to see how she finally explained herself and vocalised her feelings to all the ppl involved through voicemails at the end.
