This book dug into the anxious parts of my brain and ripped out the intrusive thoughts, the paranoia, the overthinking, and put them into the main character, Gilda. I couldn’t put this down.

This book is definitely not for everyone, and definitely not those who aren’t in a place to contemplate humanity and what it means to be alive. That said, I *loved* it. It’s no sylvia plath, but I think esther greenwood would have been great friends with gilda when she could get out of bed. 

Very real, very raw. There was nothing so incredibly deep, but the simplicity of the writing and style was exactly what made the book work. Phenomenal.

4.5

At first, I didn’t like this book. It’s very slow going for most of it. However, as I got to the end I began to recognize that it’s actually a very good representation of dissociation from anxiety/depression/hopelessness. A good portrait of how mental illness begins to invade someone’s psyche, then isolates them. I appreciated that it was written with the present timeline interspersed with fragments of memories and short moments because it showed how disjointed it can be to cope with feeling meaningless and confused.

The very last page ended on such a light, delightful note too.
