this is a quick, engaging read but good lord is it miserable. it’s uncomfortable and all over the place and the vignettes bounce around like pinball, though i acknowledge a lot of this is on purpose. i found a lot of it bordered on misanthropic and the ending speeds through tying loose ends like a bullet train. i didn’t hate it but i didn’t really like it either.

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.

It was very good, inquisitive book about life. As someone with mental illness I felt very seen and represented. At times it was hard to read because it felt a little too real

An eclectic, off-beat little book about how we confront (or refuse to confront) the inescapable pains of being a person.

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.
