Raymond is the only good man

on a serious note, it was nice to see someone get better.

I took one of my hands in the other, tried to imagine what it would feel like if it was another person’s hand holding mine. There have been times when I felt that I might die of loneliness. People sometimes say they might die of boredom, that they’re dying for a cup of tea, but for me, dying of loneliness is not hyperbole. When I feel like that, my head drops and my shoulders slump and I ache, I physically ache, for human contact—I truly feel that I might tumble to the ground and pass away if someone doesn’t hold me, touch me.

I liked the twist at the end about the mom. Imo it was a bit slow and a few pages could’ve been edited out. A book about trauma, loneliness, friendship and a journey of recovery.

Was expecting E and R to end up together tbh, but I think that’s just me being in my romantic reads era

+ parts of the storyline & characteristics were relatable for me personally

- the wrap text describes a mere slice of what the story is actually about
- sometimes the main character reads social cues perfecrly fine and somethimes she doesn’t get them at all. big inconsistency there.
- too long

I loved watching Eleanor discover herself throughout the course of the book. It was refreshing to see how kind everyone was to her. I think that was the thing that surprised her the most - realising that she deserved kindness.
