existential crisis in a book, but in the best way possible. it was a chaotic ride but captures just how complicated, hypocritical and insignificant humans are. also can't deny I really enjoyed being inside mc's head... bc same 😅

Books to read if you need to have a catharsis. It really affected me in a way I didn't really expect. I think it captures really well that sort of spiraling mentality with lies, depression, anxiety, and isolation. I got really attached to the main character. I think this is maybe a right time right place book in the way it got me but I hope others will enjoy too.

I liked the protagonist, but I wasn’t very hooked on the plot. The resolution of the mystery felt unsatisfying. However, I can absolutely see this being someone’s favorite book. The perspective of the protagonist accurately describes the thoughts of an extremely anxious and depressed woman. As one myself, I can confirm. I’d recommend it to fans of Kathleen Glasgow and Turtles All the Way Down.

Okay I'm actually obsessed with this book. Wow.

I have anxiety and I related to Gilda a lot while reading it (though she struggles with it way more than I do, and I have a much easier time asking for help). I loved the way this was written, in genuinely every way that could be interpreted. I'm amazed by how relatable and funny this was while also being so dark and existential. I was so drawn in and cared so much about what was going to happen to everyone involved.

Honestly I have absolutely zero complaints about this book. I mean...I wish maybe we'd gotten a glimpse of Eli at the end to see what happened there? But I understand why the author may have wanted to leave some things open-ended, and I'm satisfied with what we did get to see at the end. I can't recommend this book enough.
