I stumbled upon this book while searching for books about loneliness. This book tells the effect of loneliness in mental health, the toll it takes, even when the person is not aware. The mystery kept unfolding in a subtle way at the beginning, and then all at once at the end, the build up and the pay off were sublime.
I found the characters very realistic, charming and three dimensional. I felt like I could find any of these people anywhere in my day to day. I found ideal that the ending tied the loose ends together, but still left a somehow open ending for the main character. I cannot recommend this book enough.

it genuinely is a good book, eleanor is funny and there is a good balance of humour and tenseness/sadness of the book and the story is written well to reflect a character with severe trauma and how she processes this as the story goes along.

In the beginning of the book I did not like the main character “Eleanor” but at the end I do like her! I think it was interesting, she has never really had friends and is therefore not used to unspoken things and manners. After listening and getting to know her I find her more likable and especially her friend Reman (don’t know his spelling).
I think I will give this one a 5 even though I’m not 100% sure. I think it’s better than the book I gave 4.5, but I’m not sure if I love it as much as the other I gave 5!
