i found this book really hard to get into at first but especially in the second half the pace really picked up and i found myself a lot more absorbed in it.
it genuinely is a good book, eleanor is funny and there is a good balance of humour and tenseness/sadness of the book and the story is written well to reflect a character with severe trauma and how she processes this as the story goes along.and omg the plot twist
