I really enjoyed this, although it also sent me down a bit of an existential hole. I related to a lot of Gilda’s thought processes, especially as she ruminated about how easily a life can be snuffed out. I really couldn’t have predicted where this book was going - the mystery element was a fun touch! The best part of the whole book may have been the last line. So satisfying. Would definitely recommend to other anxious 20-somethings!
