The book started off really strong but, as I went on reading, it lost me a bit. Maybe it's because we are firmly into the main character's headspace and I felt like it became a bit repetitive. Also, the final section 

with the police investigation and Gilda's questioning and brief detention

felt to me a bit over-the-top, it went on and on and then was solved in the blink of an eye. The ending itself wasn't so bad 

I admit that I teared up a bit when Gilda's left those voicemail messages

but it was still quite abrupt and an awful lot was left unaddressed. 

I appreciated the hard-hitting representation of mental illness, just make sure to check the content warnings and look after your own mental well-being.  
I also quite liked the humour and, as a raised-Catholic-turned-atheist, I cackled many times whenever Gilda pondered over bizarre Catholic rituals.

This was a really fast read for me and I found the main character very relatable.
Only massive downside is that the ending felt very abrupt and I didn't like the way

Gilda was suddenly alright, without the readers being given any indication of how she got out of her bad state. Felt weird to me how a book that depicted mental health struggles so realistically just suddenly went "she is alright now and back with her gilfriend". I also would have loved to know more about her sibling and their relationship with each other
