I picked this up from the library since many people had recommended it online. However, after that I saw that many others didn't like it so I avoided reading it till the last possible minute which was a waste since it was so good. I really enjoyed eleanors development. Raymond was really nice and I think this book tackled with such heavy subjects fairly well. Overall it was quite enjoyable imo.

I enjoyed it, but tags and descriptions are absolutely misleading. This book deals with heavy topics and I have no idea where the "funny" part is. Very emotional, well written, and hopeful, but I honestly think there should be more content warnings and even without spoilers better blurbs.

The main character deals with alcoholism, doesn't remember her past due to traumatic events which she will remember, a character dies, and there is emotional abuse and self sabotaging thoughts. In her past there is child abuse, unfortunate experience in foster care even if not graphic, a fire that resulted in injuries and death.

i loved the character development and the discussions of mental health in this story. certainly didn’t expect abuse to play such a big part.
