I would've thought that a book of this subject matter would be really heavy and hard to get through but the narrative style and humour meant it was such an easy read!

It felt like a stream of consciousness and perfectly described the thought loops of anxiety and depression. Extra appreciated the narration of being acutely aware of the futility of life, and feeling sad other humans don't too and expe iencing sadness and being extra sad if other people have to too. Gilda has the weight of human existence on her shoulders! 

And with all that, it's set amongst the backdrop of an atheist lesbian who becomes an administrator at a Catholic church and enters into a murder mystery case - brilliant!
