I loved this book for a few reason. Firstly, I couldn’t put it aside after I started reading so I’ve had a few nights when I’d go unreasonably late to bed because it was just interesting what’s going to happen to Eleanor. Secondly, finally a book that is showing trauma and mental illnesses with empathy and not by obviously not understanding it. It was a heartwarming read and I loved that I could imagine Eleanor (as others) in real life (although her story is very extreme). A wonderful read!
