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.

It was weird. It was challenging. Moments of it were beautiful. It was distressing. It was real. Moments of it were everything I have ever wanted to forget.

This book was like reading my thoughts on a page at a time. It has highly overwhelming but also deeply comforting. Gilda, the main character, felt like me in an almost scary way at times. The ending was incredibly resonant, with things not wrapping up perfectly but with a clear hopeful outlook to the future. I broke out into tears a few times in the book. There were also some very big shocks and twists in the book but all were appropriate.
