It’s a very emotional cute book
Not a romance !! If you’re looking for romantic love this is not what you’re looking for it’s much more self discovery and friendships !
Not the type of book I usually read, some times a little too slow for me but either way very enjoyable :) totally fell in love with Elenor

This book really gives you a feel of all the different emotions, happiness, sadness, anger, love and much more! In terms of emotions, it has it all. Eleanor develops a close relationship with her new work colleague, Raymond and they begin to meet up for lunch but then going to parties together! They save the life of a man who collapsed and end up becoming good friends with him and his family, so much so that they are then invited to his funeral when he sadly passes away.
Eleanor finally begins to see a counsellor and talk about her feelings, it’s only when you get towards the end of the book that it is revealed that she has a younger sister! However, it isn’t all happy news as her younger sister and her mother “Mummy” actually died in a house fire which was started by her Mother deliberately after giving both girls sedatives, only Eleanor made it out alive.
The ending was a bit abrupt and I would have loved to have found out more about Eleanor and Raymond’s relationship but otherwise, we see a happy ending for Eleanor!

Minor: Body shaming and Fatphobia
I found the author's brief bit about fat people to be insensitive. The author lists forgiveable reasons/ailments why someone may be fat or overweight. In this the author, through the protagonist's point of view, makes a case for how fat doesn't inherently imply inferiority, but she fails to mention that fat does not inherently mean unhealthy.frran's review against another edition
