Pretty gutted for a good amount of this book. But also laughed wholeheartedly and giggled often. Gilda resonated with me in a way that made me feel like I needed to make some changes in my own life. Her thought processes were nihilistic but at the same time reasonable and funny but always with that hint of dark. And then you feel how good of a person she is and how big her heart is and it's the most heartwarming story ever.

I devoured this book. It was so easy to read, and you get such a great idea about the main characters flaws and what's going on inside her head. I liked the almost vignette style and the flash backs within them had a flow that worked for me (but I could see why it might not work for everyone).

Really heartwarming and funny and sadly relatable. Well written and compelling story and narrator. Maybe it wrapped up a bit too quickly at the end?
