I loved this book. It was so different and strange yet completely and utterly normal. I
knew right away that it was going to be right up my alley, just reading the blurb.
The main character, Gilda, has the internal monologue that runs through most mentally ill people, and I was here for it.
It was fast paced, and I loved the stream of consciousness style, written in broken up paragraphs.
I did also know, by the third emergency room visit, that the character and author must be Canadian. It is always nice to read new Canadian talent.
It gave me similar feeling to 13 ways of looking at a fat girl. I loved the style, loved the plot, loved the characters, and hope everyone gives this unique gift a chance!
