  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

The plot in the synopsis seems very story driven, but this book lightly brushes on any of those noted plot points. The book is primarily about a young lesbian woman, Gilda, living with anxiety and depression, told through her stream-of-consciousness internal monologue. 

This book didn't land with me. I never fell in love with the main character, and it was hard to sympathize with her.
