I ate this book tf up. It was so interesting to me. I was hooked from start to finish, I wanted to know how Eleanor and Ruby would affect each other so badly and the twists and turn along the way kept me on the edge of my seat.
I didn’t read the blurb so I really had no clue what to expect which I think helped in the intrigue of the story.
I loved that we saw background on the characters as this helped them to feel whole. I was able to truly empathize and understand their decisions (even if I didn’t agree with them).
I would 100% recommend that you read the authors note cause when you do you’re going to want to cry for all the women this novel was inspired by.
This book could be highly triggering for some though, so check those out.
