Gilda was a highly relatable main character for me and I don't know if that's a particularly good thing or not...
This was more of a character study, so those looking for a plot focused book may not like this as much, but I enjoyed getting a glimpse into Gilda's life and watching her character development. The little murder mystery type side plot was also a bit of fun.
The writing was really easy to read and I flew through this, and had a good time with it - as much as you can with an anxious, depressed MC, anyway. Though I don't have experience with all the mental illnesses depicted in the book, it seemed to be good representation and I related to the feelings of anxiety shown.
