Honestly, I expected this to be 3,5, 4 stars maximum, and I had no idea what to expect.
I will not get into the spoilers, but this book kept me on my toes, the characters and their relationships kept me engaged and entertained, and I couldn't wait to pick up the book again.
This will definitely go on my cool-to-recommend pile :D

• Quando a Bestie o passou para as minhas mãos disse: "primeiro estranha-se, depois entranha-se".
Primeiro sinal de que devia baixar as esperanças 😅
• Eleanor é uma mulher que chegou aos seus 30 anos e já passou por muito na vida e enquanto adulta manteve-se à distância dos outros, interagindo o mínimo possível. Ao longo do livro vamos percebendo que ela não compreende o que é entendido como normal e esperado numa interação social (é bem capaz que esteja incluída no espectro autista).
• A autora fez um magnífico trabalho a esculpir a personalidade da protagonista! É um livro digno de todos os prémios que recebeu.
No entanto, fiquei imensamente frustrada com o tempo que levou até vermos o desenvolvimento da Eleanor quando esta começou a abrir-se a novas experiências, mas sou a favor do processo, porque foi necessário para nos apercebermos do seu crescimento.
• Os últimos 30% do livro foram aqueles que mais me agarraram e é também a parte que aconselho os leitores a verificar os gatilhos. Quando chegou à parte da terapia e do twist (que adorei) já era um pouco tarde para mudar a minha opinião geral, mas recomendo na mesma.

- the wrap text describes a mere slice of what the story is actually about
- sometimes the main character reads social cues perfecrly fine and somethimes she doesn’t get them at all. big inconsistency there.
- too long
