wow i didnt expect to love it so much! it was equal parts hilaripus and thought provoking (but strangely not mortal anxiety provoking) and some quotes are such bangers. like she knew god existed and hated her personally? the part of not believing that we have to luve until as long as possible?? pffff such a refreshing funky dark read! also the most chill book ive ever read related to suicidal thoughts

This style of writing was very fun to read considering the content bc I process and think things similar to Gilda.

Gilda was a highly relatable main character for me and I don't know if that's a particularly good thing or not...

This was more of a character study, so those looking for a plot focused book may not like this as much, but I enjoyed getting a glimpse into Gilda's life and watching her character development. The little murder mystery type side plot was also a bit of fun.

The writing was really easy to read and I flew through this, and had a good time with it - as much as you can with an anxious, depressed MC, anyway. Though I don't have experience with all the mental illnesses depicted in the book, it seemed to be good representation and I related to the feelings of anxiety shown.

I really enjoyed this, although it also sent me down a bit of an existential hole. I related to a lot of Gilda’s thought processes, especially as she ruminated about how easily a life can be snuffed out. I really couldn’t have predicted where this book was going - the mystery element was a fun touch! The best part of the whole book may have been the last line. So satisfying. Would definitely recommend to other anxious 20-somethings!
