dark sad slow-paced

1.5

Is the funny actually in the room with us? I didn‘t spot it anywhere.

The Introduction in this book calls it „darkly funny“, „delightfully awkward“ and „pitch-perfect observations about the human condition“. I disagree with all of that.

I never understood what was going on with Gilda‘s brain and her thought processes and found the book relentlessly depressing and anxiety-inducing.

The first few pages of the book are not representative for the rest of the book.

I would only recommend this book to people who want to read about someone who is deeply depressed, anxiety-ridden, in constant panic attacks and who thinks about killing themselves

on nearly every page

.

I do not recommend this to anyone who is in a mental health crisis or who struggles with their mental health in general.

The only reason I‘m not giving this book one star is because the first few pages weren‘t bad and I was moved a bit during the last few pages.

1.5 stars

Impressively accurately like spending a load of time inside the head of someone who is spiralling...but that's not necessarily my idea of a great read? Too real to be funny

As someone who struggles with the same things Gilda does, I found this book oddly comforting. Not only that, but it never failed to keep me in suspense!

This book dug into the anxious parts of my brain and ripped out the intrusive thoughts, the paranoia, the overthinking, and put them into the main character, Gilda. I couldn’t put this down.
