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.

This book is really nice but for some reason i’m just not in the head space for it at the moment. I’ll have to come back to it, it’s really interesting.
