i listened to this as an audiobook which may account for why it was so hard for me to finish. i kept getting the plot confused with other shows and books i was consuming at the same time so i got a little lost at times. the book itself is really good though, as someone with intense anxiety and paranoia, i related to Gilda so much. Her anxiety distracted me from my anxiety. I thought the little b plot for grace’s death was interesting too, and the c plot of mittens! my only real qualm is that whenever the author had gilda imagine something, she wrote that gilda saw it “in her mind’s eye” which is a fine phrase a couple of times, but 15 times? that’s a lot of times to say the same thing. and i think because i was listening to it i was like damn that’s like the 10th time she’s said that.
