Gilda, an anxious gay atheist, stumbles her way into a receptionist job at a Catholic Church. As a former Catholic, there were lots of fun details in this one. It is told in short, stream-of-consciousness paragraphs that often jump from the present to the past to dreams to anxious ideations. Reminiscent of Eleanor Oliphant and Eileen, the mental health of the narrator is a character itself. Easy to read, though not particularly deep or compelling, but an interesting story nonetheless. A little dark and a little too much "woe is me", slightly repetitive, but didn't drag on too long.

i see a lot of myself in gilda which is very sad but also reminds me to be gentle with myself and id like to thank emily austin for that. this character means so much to me.
London I think you’d like this.

This was solid. I love how it just keeps building the tension up and up and up. What a mess.
Damn this was really beautiful and I can tell well researched about the church. Lines of liturgy and feast days describing points in time took me back to my childhood. Nice to read an anxious monologue to know youre not alone in all the fears you have of the world.
