5.0

I absolutely devoured this book. To be honest, the first few chapters left me struggling, (and slightly triggered as a city-living single 30yo) but after a while, I couldn't help but fall in love with Eleanor and the rest. A devastating but ultimately hopeful, charming book.

100x darker than I'd thought, but personally nothing that read as excessive or was dealt with in an unhealthy way. Tagged everything that stood out to me.
