I devoured this. I absolutely loved this book, though I can recognize it won’t be for everyone. Those who get it, get it. And those who don’t, honestly, you’re lucky. If you have panic attacks, obsess over death, have depression or suicidal ideations, religious trauma, struggle with addiction, or feel things deeply, this may or may not be for you. I can see how it might be difficult to read, but it also might make you feel seen

As an atheist lesbian who has non-debilitating anxiety, this book brought up some stuff for me. I have already been thinking so much about death due to the ongoing genocide of Palestinians, but this book made me more anxious. But it’s also hopeful and the ending scene is perfect and the whole book reminds us that life, though fleeting, is precious

This was a deeply honest and at times uncomfortably close first hand account of what it is like living with anxiety. From the way it manifests in rumination and makes every day tasks debilitating to the way that it is perceived and dealt with by those around whom it affects. Really enjoyed delving in Gilda’s conscience and hope for nothing but happiness for her character.

This book was at times deeply uncomfortable, but I think that’s what the author was going for. It sparked thoughts about how we can do so much better as a society when it comes to people facing mental illnesses.
