superb depiction of mental health - specifically anxiety and depression.
The story was told in vignettes and was a little disjointed but I liked that. I liked the main character Gilda and could feel her pain and anxiety (because been there) but with the other characters, maybe not so much. The other characters were painted with such colors of black and white, there felt like there was no grey. It almost felt a little caricature-y. Though I'm not saying there aren't people like this in the world, I just wished for a little more nuance with the side characters.
overall, fun relatable read.
