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.

Kind of a romp, mostly twee. I appreciated the way Austin wrote the repeating/intrusive thoughts that come with anxiety. Would be perfect to read in a dentist’s office waiting room or on an airplane. Anywhere you have time to kill but don’t want to think too hard.

escribo esto justo después de leerlo mientras sigo llorando porque no creo que jamás vaya a recuperarme emocionalmente de lo que ha sido leerlo.

siento que Gilda soy yo, que absolutamente todo lo que le pasa por la cabeza (la muerte, los pensamientos intrusivos, la necesidad de que los demás estén bien y sean felices, el paso del tiempo, la inutilidad de la existencia), todo, absolutamente todo, lo he sufrido y lo sufro pensando constantemente si el problema soy yo.

no lo soy, pero es tan difícil llegar a ser feliz, ser capaz de limpiar los platos, ducharse, salir de la cama, contestar a la gente que quieres y quedarte en sus vidas a pesar del miedo latente a decepcionarles y el pánico a que se preocupen por ti… es tan difícil salir del bucle que siempre es más fácil quedarse en él.

pero yo solo quiero ser feliz. serlo un rato.

I enjoyed reading this. I related to so many anecdotes and the very realistic portrayal of depression and anxiety. I was not satisfied by the ending; I still have so many questions!

This is a pretty accurate depiction of someone with anxiety & depression. I loved the layout of the book, how chaotic each section feels. I related to the character a lot considering I have the same diagnoses/similar experiences.

I think Gilda being queer / a lesbian really adds depth to her depression as well.
