REVIEW FOR FUTURE ME WHEN I FORGET THAT I EVEN READ THIS BOOK:
You honestly tried so hard to like this. It was really interesting being inside the head of someone with intrusive thoughts and anxiety. The hyper focusing and hyper awareness that occurred simultaneously beside a total lack of awareness or understanding was well done. You just didn’t get enough of a sense of Gilda to really care. Like, you cared, but not really cared. Also, it wasn’t a long book but it weirdly felt like there were A LOT of words? Hmmm
The quote: “It’s easy for me to accept that I am bacteria, or a parasite, or cancer. It’s easy for me to accept that my life is trivial, and that I am a speck of dust. It is hard for me to accept that for the people around me, however. It’s hard for me to accept that my brother’s life doesn’t matter, or that old women who die don’t matter, or even that rabbits or cats don’t matter. I feel simultaneously intensely insignificant and hyperaware of how important everyone is.”
