Character
This is one of those books that gripped me from start to finish and felt like an xray into my brain. Gilda is neurotic, nerdy, and info-dumps to herself and others at every occasion. She is tender-hearted and compassionate and also can't seem to give that to herself. One of the things that felt the most poignant to me was her intense care for Eli. I actually almost had to stop reading at one point because it felt like she was being ripped directly from my journal/memory.
Entertainment - full marks, I couldn't put it down
Plot - funny as fuck, and utterly unhinged
Prose - "eating an unsliced loaf of bread like an unsupervised goat in a bakery" is worth five stars all by itself
Characters - this is where I almost might take off a bit, because I wanted to know more about her parents and others. On the other hand, their development is understandably limited by Gilda's own limitations, so I can't really blame it for that.
Magic Star - well yes
5/5
