This was a cute read that was kind of feel-good while also being a bit heavy, especially in the second half of the book. It may take a minute but Eleanor is such a lovable character, even if you may not get along with her in real life. I would have liked to have seen more development of friendships, but there was so much character development, that it might have been too much to look at more than one friendship in depth. I don't think it's a book I'll reread, but I'm definitely glad to have picked it up, and glad I listened to the audiobook! The accents were so much fun.

Can't get over all the blurbs saying this book is funny. Sweet and sometimes amusing, sure, but the "funny" bits are mostly just sad.

Almost thought I wouldn’t be able to read this book because I found Eleanor so infuriating, but you quickly become familiar with her idiosyncrasies and it’s easy to start to find them endearing ❤️

Definitely recommend!
