5.0

Being honest, I was a bit skeptical about this book. Eleanor seemed like a very strange character and I wasn't sure where the plot would take me. A grown woman having an overexaggerated crush on a musician who doesn't even know she's alive?? It just didn't seem realistic. However, watching her and Raymond's friendship blossom and grow, warmed my heart. Watching Eleanor plummet into depression and having Raymond help her, just made me so hopeful for her future.

This is a book that you should read if you feel like you don't matter and no one cares for you. Honestly, just a totally beautiful read.
