Book Eloise & TV Show Eloise are very different. I have trouble imagining TV Eloise running away from home for a possible husband. But I do like Book Eloise, she has guts, & she knows what she wants. And watching her grow up throughout the book is inspiring. And stubborn Eloise becomes her mother by the end, I LOVE IT!

3 stars because I didn't love it but it wasn't the worst book I've read. 
It was entertaining enough for me to finish it. 
Phillip is insufferable in many of the scenes. 
Eloise is neurodivergent, imo. 
The kids are some of the best parts of the book and we barely got scenes with them. 

Look for Trigger warnings ⚠️
