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 interesting premise that continues to pay off throughout the book. The pacing was perfect for the character, and I enjoyed reading it.

Oh my god I just wish you were smiling.

Now, do you ever think about how people might wish that for you?

Beautiful stream of conscious novel. You have to be in the right mindset to read this. It’s dark and funny and a little heartbreaking all at once. The ending feels a little abrupt, but it’s still a joy to read.

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.
