The beginning of this book was honestly quite lovely; I struggle with OCD/anxiety and I felt just very, very seen. The middle/climax was a bit hard for me. Listening to Gilda fall so deeply into suicidal ideation was intense and difficult. However, it was broken up by moments of laughter too. It wasn't personally triggering, but the existential dread became a bit uncomfortable at times.
I finished this book very quickly, and I did thoroughly enjoy it. It was very emotional but also funny. I also see some reviews complaining about the lack of resolution, but I sort of enjoyed it. I like books like that.
