Since the story was such a slow-burning one, I wouldn't have minded had it been a bit longer as the ending felt a bit abrupt. And Eleanor really grew on me, it pains me to let her go :( <3
The English audiobook narrator did an excellent job portraying the characters, I'd highly recommend the audio version over the text!

I DNF’ed this book 2 years ago but I’m glad I did because the audiobook really brought the characters to life.
This book also motivated me to look into therapy so take that as you will.
Moderate: Fatphobia

on a serious note, it was nice to see someone get better.
I took one of my hands in the other, tried to imagine what it would feel like if it was another person’s hand holding mine. There have been times when I felt that I might die of loneliness. People sometimes say they might die of boredom, that they’re dying for a cup of tea, but for me, dying of loneliness is not hyperbole. When I feel like that, my head drops and my shoulders slump and I ache, I physically ache, for human contact—I truly feel that I might tumble to the ground and pass away if someone doesn’t hold me, touch me.
