While a moving and entertaining read, it feels as though twists could have been better delivered and beats better fleshed out/explored.

I really liked this book!! I thought it was heart wrenching and the character development was fabulous. I laughed out loud at some of Eleanor’s observations.

This book is quirky, charming, funny, and heartbreaking all at the same time. So very different, but an amazing read! I found myself being embarrassed for Eleanor due to her social awkwardness, and yet wanting to wrap her up in a hug and sob with her. The way the author can evoke such visceral responses fascinated me. I highly recommend this book!

A decent quick read. The cringe was strong (feeling uncomfortable with how socially inept and unaware the main character was), but not overwhelming. There was one twist I didn't see coming.
