Heartbreaking. Narrator is deeply, deeply anxious and perfectly captured. 

Also part-get-your-life together, part-murder-mystery. And life’s a struggle for everyone. Plenty of sympathetic characters from various walks of life. 

Quietly hopeful ending.

This book was a roller coaster for me, and I'll admit the main character is entirely unlikeable (I know she is a caricature!! She actually reminds me of June in Yellowface in this regard). Nonetheless, her plight is very relatable and Austin tells the story of a very troubled girl with wit, symbolism, and hope. Ultimately, I found the book's message by the end to be truly really hopeful, and that's something that I wasn't entirely expecting. All in all, a fast read that inspired at least a touch of introspection -- something that I'm grateful for. Glad I read it!

As someone who struggles with the same things Gilda does, I found this book oddly comforting. Not only that, but it never failed to keep me in suspense!

Probably one of the most relatable books I've read
(maybe don't read it if you're feeling particularly anxious or depressed)
