Nobody talk to me. I don't know when I'll recover from this book but I will eventually and that time I'll talk my therapist all about it because this book is literally such an honest and genuine take onto therapy.

I ain't going to lie the first part got me scared especially due to the childlike feeling I got with Eleanor's narration and I thought it'd be far more adventurous which in the I was glad it wasn't. It was a journey and it hit me deep for the way I felt myself in some parts being too similar to Eleanor and her reactions; Eleanor, at the same time, holds a special place in my heart.

it was a wonderful book, although to me some parts felt a bit too fast-paced to be real, although I ain't going to lie I do understand it is due to the fictional nature of the book, still her relationship with her coworkers to me changed with no reasons, especially as how awful they had been in the start to her.

Still, overall, I think it's a book that's worth reading.
