This book made me question whether I actually have anxiety. I mean I do, and some of what our MC went through was relatable, but man oh man some of it was so far beyond me. Gilda makes a million horrible, misguided choices. Then never even tries to explain herself. I both get it and don't; my personal experience with anxiety has me over explaining constantly and anxious how others perceive me (which does not help me be more clear, at all). I know everyone's journey is different, I just didn't super heavily vibe with this portrayal the way I did with, say, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.

The only characters I really liked were Eleanor and Jeff.

I really enjoyed this book and flew through it. I felt like the portrayal of anxiety/depression was very well written and relatable. I’m looking forward to reading more by this author in the future.

Wait but why was this actuallu so good?? Like it was funny, the writing really reflected her progression but like not too obviously, it almosy madd me cry, it was poignant, it was flea bag esq, it highlighted systematic problems with just the right amount of subtlety, it didnt even feel like ‘yeah urgh everyone feels pointless ur not special’ lol
V good

I felt like i was talking to tillia lol

‘She asked me for a glass of water before we went to bed. Knowing every glass I own is rotting in my closet, I froze. Ultimately, I rinsed out an old Gatorade bottle and filled it with tap water. She took the bottle and said, "Do you not have any cups?" I stumbled to explain that I preferred water in old Gatorade bottles, and thought maybe she might too.’

‘If I were to avoid buildings built for sad women, however, I would be homeless’

‘I mentally turn the pages in my hefty catalog of regrets I keep archived in my mind.’

‘There are a lot of things on earth that I think would be considered magic if they weren't real.’
