this is a quick, engaging read but good lord is it miserable. it’s uncomfortable and all over the place and the vignettes bounce around like pinball, though i acknowledge a lot of this is on purpose. i found a lot of it bordered on misanthropic and the ending speeds through tying loose ends like a bullet train. i didn’t hate it but i didn’t really like it either.

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

Everyone in This Room Will Someday be Dead could very well become one of my top recommended books. This story talks (shocker) about death and our individual relationships with death. But like any extreme... We cannot fully appreciate the magnitude of something like death without concurrently appreciating it's opposite... Life. And THIS, this is what I think this book does so well. In ruminating, almost obsessively, on death and dying, we are pushed into thinking about life, meaning, love and community. 

It's hard to describe just how closely and acutely this book follows the thoughts of a severely depressed person. From Gilda's perception, we see the world through an expansive range of emotions. It is as if the entire spectrum of human feeling is laid out for us through her scattered internal monologue. It is both comforting and extremely uncomfortable, showing the rich dichotomy of what it means to be alive. 

"I can't believe that I'm alive.
I can't believe that I can believe anything." 😭❤️
