The first 2/3 were very slow for me. I have ASD and I felt the character of Eleanor was coded as ASD but her traits were supposed to be ‘quirky’ and ‘funny’ - personally they were not to me as it was far too relatable while being stereotypical.
The last third takes a sharp turn into depression, suicide, therapy and trauma, which went further than I was expecting, and it seems more like Eleanor’s personality is a result of her childhood trauma rather than as a result of a neurodivergency. I don’t know which the author was intending so can’t comment further on that. I found it much more interesting than the first section, but I still wouldn’t say I enjoyed it…
I would highly recommend the audiobook though - the narration is brilliant!

When her broken computer forces her to track down the IT guy at work, everything changes. Together they save an old man from a nasty fall, form something akin to a friendship, and slowly but surely pull Eleanor out of the darkness that has consumed her.
Eleanor is quirky and I loved her character, even when her story was hard to read. There’s even a sense of mystery as her past traumas are slowly unwrapped, leaving you guessing until the end.
This is not a Happily Ever After™️, but it will tug at your heart strings.
