I get the appeal of this book. It’s a sweet romance that plays on the nostalgia of a person’s first high school sweetheart. It’s probably because I’m getting married in 4 days, but I don’t feel nostalgic for that time at all and that definitely affected my experience of the book. 
Setting up with the mystery of what happened to Eleanor kept the page turning, but I ultimately didn’t quite feel it paid off. Still, it was a sweet ending.
