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).

I read this one based on some recommendations that it was a good book to read when in a depression and that it was uplifting in a neutral way. Yet I just found it disheartening. I didn't care about the main character Gilda at all and while I appreciate the author's dive into sexuality and mental health, it just didn't do it for me. I also really disliked that in the author Q&A section at the end, the author says that all/most anxiety and depression is caused by fear of death. That is not true and very different from my experience with the two.
I also thought she should have developed the various storylines introduced regarding Eli (main character's brother) as he was by far the most interesting character yet we just kept getting random tidbits of a storyline but none were actually explored well.
