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?

What a dark, but also a funny, book to read! I may have cried more than laughed because some parts of the writing were so beautiful and also relatable. This story and Gilda are so conflicted!

4.0

Heartbreaking. Narrator is deeply, deeply anxious and perfectly captured. 

Also part-get-your-life together, part-murder-mystery. And life’s a struggle for everyone. Plenty of sympathetic characters from various walks of life. 

Quietly hopeful ending.
