The characters, including the main character, are so easy to gradually fall in love with. Information is dropped so naturally throughout the story. Many authors make the mistake of trying to make their character a likable person. Eleanor is so wonderfully flawed. The author flawlessly has the skill to "show not tell" while writing despite this being such a introspective narrative and character driven story. A friend recommended this to me and I couldn't be more glad.
