This was such an interesting read! I wish there was more of the story because I didn't want it to end.

Een boek met een vrij moeizame start. Om eerlijk te zijn vond ik Eleanor best wel vreemd en wist ik niet goed wat ik van dit boek moest vinden. Totdat de ontmoeting tussen de twee 'hoofdpersonen' uit dit boek plaatsvond. Daarna kon ik niet meer stoppen met lezen. Wat lijkt het mij heerlijk om een Eleanor in je omgeving te hebben. Fijn boek om in te duiken waarin ook mooie boodschappen zitten verwerkt. Aanrader!

maybe 3.5 stars? Listened to the audiobook, really enjoyed it in that form. The author is great at pacing Eleanor's character development - from deeply unlikeable and a little nuts to a person healing.

Good in the end. Struggled with the first part of the book. Would have quit but it was a book club pick so I pressed through. So glad I did!

I really enjoyed this book. It was the perfect amount of sadness and funniness and it’s a 10/10
