read this book in one sitting- it was very reflective, a very good insight into anxiety disorders and anxiety about death, while still being laugh out loud funny at points. as a catholic queer anxious person, this book was perfect for me. the writing conveys everything about the main character in such a vivid way. at times i did find it difficult and chaotic to get through, and definitely sad, it is so worth reading. of course i wish we had gotten more at the end about her family and such in terms of a resolution, i can live with an open ending.
