I typically don't love character driven books, but I really enjoyed this one. The mystery of what happened to Grace was nice to have in the back of my head throughout the book. Gilda is a human being really struggling with her mental health and throughout the story I just empathized with her and just wanted to give her a hug. As an ex-Catholic, I didn't realize how much I still remembered all the things about mass that where brought right back up while Gilda was trying to fake being Catholic.

I was really worried she would "find God" and decide to become Catholic in the end, but she didn't which I thought was right for her character.

This book had amazing one liners that had be CACKLING. I will say the book is structured into parts but those parts don't have individual chapters so I got a little lost sometimes. (This could have been because I was listening to the audiobook). I genuinely think I will reread this book again
