siento que Gilda soy yo, que absolutamente todo lo que le pasa por la cabeza (la muerte, los pensamientos intrusivos, la necesidad de que los demás estén bien y sean felices, el paso del tiempo, la inutilidad de la existencia), todo, absolutamente todo, lo he sufrido y lo sufro pensando constantemente si el problema soy yo.
no lo soy, pero es tan difícil llegar a ser feliz, ser capaz de limpiar los platos, ducharse, salir de la cama, contestar a la gente que quieres y quedarte en sus vidas a pesar del miedo latente a decepcionarles y el pánico a que se preocupen por ti… es tan difícil salir del bucle que siempre es más fácil quedarse en él.
pero yo solo quiero ser feliz. serlo un rato.

I think Gilda being queer / a lesbian really adds depth to her depression as well.

I have anxiety and I related to Gilda a lot while reading it (though she struggles with it way more than I do, and I have a much easier time asking for help). I loved the way this was written, in genuinely every way that could be interpreted. I'm amazed by how relatable and funny this was while also being so dark and existential. I was so drawn in and cared so much about what was going to happen to everyone involved.
Honestly I have absolutely zero complaints about this book. I mean...I wish maybe we'd gotten a glimpse of Eli at the end to see what happened there? But I understand why the author may have wanted to leave some things open-ended, and I'm satisfied with what we did get to see at the end. I can't recommend this book enough.
