it took me about 100 pages to get into the book. i had a hard time understanding the path the author wanted us to be on. with time, i got hooked on the characters. i especially loved the friendship between eleanor and raymond. really interesting reading experience and pov.

This book was absolutely incredible. It made me feel so many things. I cannot even begin to express how much this book impacted me. It’s a story that I am so glad I read. It was heartbreaking and heartwarming all at once. Loneliness was a big theme in this book, yet reading it, I felt the opposite of alone. This story is one I’ll always remember and will forever be important to me.
