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?

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.

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!

This book was well-written but it wasn’t my thing. It made me sad and tense but not in a good way like sometimes books can do.

I devoured this. I absolutely loved this book, though I can recognize it won’t be for everyone. Those who get it, get it. And those who don’t, honestly, you’re lucky. If you have panic attacks, obsess over death, have depression or suicidal ideations, religious trauma, struggle with addiction, or feel things deeply, this may or may not be for you. I can see how it might be difficult to read, but it also might make you feel seen

As an atheist lesbian who has non-debilitating anxiety, this book brought up some stuff for me. I have already been thinking so much about death due to the ongoing genocide of Palestinians, but this book made me more anxious. But it’s also hopeful and the ending scene is perfect and the whole book reminds us that life, though fleeting, is precious
