Sinossi
Gilda ha paura della morte, come tutti. Solo che la spaventa anche continuare a vivere, e tutto ciò che questo comporta: gestire una famiglia incapace di affrontare i problemi. O pagare le bollette. O ancora, dare finalmente una svolta alla sua relazione con Eleanor. Quando, un po' per caso, inizia a lavorare come segretaria nella chiesa di St. Rigobert, scopre una nuova prospettiva sulla morte e la sopravvivenza. Lì conoscerà persone indimenticabili come il parroco Jeff, che piange in segreto dopo ogni funerale; Giuseppe, un motivatore profondamente demotivato, che la chiama ogni sera per chiederle un appuntamento; una donna anziana, amante dei gatti, con cui scambia e-mail. Persone a cui la vita non sorride più di quanto faccia a lei, e che nonostante questo continuano a provarci. Perché un giorno moriremo tutti, è vero. Ma non oggi.

This book is kinda unhinged... in an anxious kind of way.

dude I don’t know… this hit me in the feels the way Eleanor Olliphant is completely fine did except I feel like it’s even more realistic in its portrayal of mental illness and loneliness. I want to give a copy of this book to all of my lgbtq friends who I know are anxious
