Lovely book with wonderful characters. One of those books where I really looked forward to reading it and made a point to bring it with me in case I had a few min.

I loved this so much.
I wasn’t sure at first but by the end I was so invested.
Eleanor is very well written she seems like the type of person that would really annoy me in real life but I could never bring myself to truly dislike her and I loved watching her grow.
It was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster sad but not depressing (if that makes sense).
If you want a fast moving plot and action this isn’t for you it’s more of a slow character driven story.

Started a little slow for me but I did end up enjoying the book once I really got into it!
