The schizophrenia/psychosis warning is just in case, as a possible interpretation of a certain twist. I'm not entirely sure this is intentionally the case, and either way I don't think it's accurate.haleyisamess's review against another edition

This book is like getting to know a person. And I truly couldn’t stand Eleanor at the beginning, but then you kinda uncover why she is the way she is and start to empathise with her. It’s about the safety of routines, rationalising, importance of friendship (bless Raymond honestly), how little things can change your life, acceptance, therapy and change.
This is a book for anybody who has experience with family trauma or trauma in general or is patient enough to get to know a person stuck with their own demons, unknowingly. She is after all, completely fine.

Definitely a slower-paced read, and while there are plenty of funny moments, I don’t agree with the ratings saying that’s the main vibe of the book. Most of it is quite sad, but it does end on a hopeful note. My only nitpick was having to look up much of her uncommon vocabulary, it made it hard to stay engaged when I had to pick up my phone every few pages.
