I just think this book was a really nice little book to read. It started off just as a light about Eleanor, her mundane life and the moment everything changed (her crush). It handled issues so delicately and so gently and nothing felt like it was done just for the sensationalism of it. Eleanor is so quirky, but that makes her really loveable and really easy to feel for. 

Honestly I don’t know how I didn’t see the plot twist at the end coming, but it did hit really hard and was really amazingly done.
