I loved this so much. 
I wasn’t sure at first but by the end I was so invested. 
Eleanor is very well written she seems like the type of person that would really annoy me in real life but I could never bring myself to truly dislike her and I loved watching her grow.
It was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster sad but not depressing (if that makes sense). 

If you want a fast moving plot and action this isn’t for you it’s more of a slow character driven story.

A beautiful rendition of a seemingly normal person healing to actual normal life. Relatable and kind.
