I’m quite unsure on how to review this. It’s definitely a more interesting read and I liked exploring the different perspectives. The characters were flawed, but in a way that felt really real, which I thoroughly enjoyed. 

However, I DESPISED the Eleanor chapters. The writing style was horrendous and I didn’t like her character at all. They were also way too long for some reason and in my opinion they didn’t add that much. 

This is definitely a book that made me feel something and I think it will stick with me for a while.
