I struggled to get into this book intially; I found Eleanor to be a challenging and judgmental narrator. That said, as I approached the halfway mark it was clear I was supposed to be uncomfortable, and that Eleanor herself was uncomfortable in all aspects of her life. The style of narration evolved as the book progressed - as Eleanor stopped seeing herself as an island and learned to rely on the people around her. Ultimatetly, it was an uplifting read, reminding the reader that friends can be found in unlikely places and that it's never too late to make changes for the better.
