Check trigger warnings before reading! This isn’t a book I would typically go for, but I liked it more than I thought that I would. It was pretty heartwarming to see the journey of a secluded young woman getting to find herself and find/form loving relationships and come to terms with her difficult past and navigate life. The inner dialogue and utter honesty with which Eleanor speaks truly allows you to understand her and her motivations and mindset. I love how unapologetically herself that she is. It takes a little while to get into it, but I think this is worth the read.
