I ain't going to lie the first part got me scared especially due to the childlike feeling I got with Eleanor's narration and I thought it'd be far more adventurous which in the I was glad it wasn't. It was a journey and it hit me deep for the way I felt myself in some parts being too similar to Eleanor and her reactions; Eleanor, at the same time, holds a special place in my heart.
it was a wonderful book, although to me some parts felt a bit too fast-paced to be real, although I ain't going to lie I do understand it is due to the fictional nature of the book, still her relationship with her coworkers to me changed with no reasons, especially as how awful they had been in the start to her.
Still, overall, I think it's a book that's worth reading.

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.
