So this book was too depressing for me. It was dark but the humour just seemed sad to me and not funny. I had hoped that there would be some hope at the end but the more her world was revealed the more lost I felt along with her. It took me so long to read it but I couldn’t bail because I was looking for some hope and honestly what was given wasn’t enough for me. I felt even more sorry for Eleanor by the end, actually for all the characters.

I found myself frustrated by this book more than anything else. I know that a huge part of the protagonist's story is that she is avoidant and that is actually part of the reason I started reading this book in the first place. I could relate to her. But the frustration was so much that it actually took away any enjoyment I was hoping to get out of the book. It felt very. . . STILL. Nothing happened because the protagonist refused to have a personality other than being afraid of confrontation. I get it. I do. But I don't feel like any lessons were learned or earned.

I found the writing style to be so captivating and the family dynamics were wild! Some of this book felt icky but in a way that pushed for some critical reflection.
