I appreciated the hard-hitting representation of mental illness, just make sure to check the content warnings and look after your own mental well-being.
I also quite liked the humour and, as a raised-Catholic-turned-atheist, I cackled many times whenever Gilda pondered over bizarre Catholic rituals.

Gilda is a twenty-seven-year-old lesbian who accidentally becomes the receptionist at a Catholic Church. She is also a hypochondriac and spends too much of her time thinking about death. She has been depressed essentially since she found her pet bunny dead at age eleven. Her parents are the opposite of helpful and wave her off anytime she mentions her or her brother, Eli, getting mental health counseling. This book really shows how living in a household like that while mentally ill can have an intensely negative effect on a person.
This story is for sure character-driven as there is not a straight forward plot. This book is definitely not for everyone, but I really enjoyed it. There are a ridiculous amount of content warnings such as suicidal thoughts, panic disorders, homophobia, etc. so reader beware.
