I had to sit with my thoughts for a bit. I felt that this book provided me with a fun reading experience and I found myself relating a lot to the main character. But when I take a step back and look at the story as a whole, I do find something lacking. I was not a big fan of the ending; I feel like we follow Gilda through these twists and turns of anxious thoughts regarding different situations in her life and yet they are resolved far too quick for how long we spent building them up. No other character felt anything but one dimensional.
I'm excited to explore her other novels.
