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

I devoured this book. It was so easy to read, and you get such a great idea about the main characters flaws and what's going on inside her head. I liked the almost vignette style and the flash backs within them had a flow that worked for me (but I could see why it might not work for everyone).

Really heartwarming and funny and sadly relatable. Well written and compelling story and narrator. Maybe it wrapped up a bit too quickly at the end?
