This was a cute read that was kind of feel-good while also being a bit heavy, especially in the second half of the book. It may take a minute but Eleanor is such a lovable character, even if you may not get along with her in real life. I would have liked to have seen more development of friendships, but there was so much character development, that it might have been too much to look at more than one friendship in depth. I don't think it's a book I'll reread, but I'm definitely glad to have picked it up, and glad I listened to the audiobook! The accents were so much fun.
