I loved the humor in this book, and the way I saw myself and others I love in the main character’s struggles with depression, family dysfunction, and just being an adult in your 20s. It’s dark, but it’s a type of dark I can handle right now.

This book was slow at parts but overall enjoyable as someone who used to hyper fixate on death. I found some parts repetitive but the ending made up for it. It gives me dear Evan Hansen vibes.

Although not stated in the book, I feel that the main character has many traits and symptoms relating to OCD. This book depicts the obsessions, intrusive thoughts, and dissociative moments that many experience. I appreciate this book so much.

read this book in one sitting- it was very reflective, a very good insight into anxiety disorders and anxiety about death, while still being laugh out loud funny at points. as a catholic queer anxious person, this book was perfect for me. the writing conveys everything about the main character in such a vivid way. at times i did find it difficult and chaotic to get through, and definitely sad, it is so worth reading. of course i wish we had gotten more at the end about her family and such in terms of a resolution, i can live with an open ending.
